I have an interview for my first product designer role out of Bootcamp. What are your favorite questions to ask during an interview as a job seeker and why?

General questions that I’d ask in any interview regardless of the role:

1. expectations for role in the first 30, 60, 90 days
- the answer and the way it’s delivered will tell you a lot about challenges you’d be facing in the role and allows you to gauge how realistic those expectations are

2. How long has the role been open?
- gives you some indication to whether turnaround for the role is high.

3. Do research on your interviewer via LinkedIn and ask questions specific to them/the company
- easy opportunity to form a connection and stand out from other candidates, and the way they speak about the company will often exhibit positive or negative sentiment. Just another data point for you when it comes time to make a decision.

Can someone explain me what's going on with Accenture recruitment? My joining date was 29th of this month. HR called me day before yesterday and preponed it to 26th, later today she called and saying that due to high volume of candidates, the Onboarding is freezed and so my candidature is pushed to September 5th. Is this normal?

I've been working at a government agency for 6 months, helping to stand up a new team. The job involves interacting with real estate developers. One of the developers reached out to recruit me for a similar position that will pay more than $50k my current salary. I feel guilty, especially since I'd interact with my current team on the other side. It's a hard to turn down that salary, though I feel guilty since my team is thin, and it's only been 6 months!

Any tips on navigating this situation?

Rejected by HBS and GSB post interview... feeling pretty low. Was hoping I'd get one after interviewing. Not sure what I could have done differently. 750 GMAT, >3.8 GPA from top 10 UG, multiple promotions, strong recs, well-known employer. The process feels so random... I know there are so many qualified candidates and so few spots but I wish they had seen it in me.
