I know there’s probably a better bowl to post this in but just looking for insights anywhere I can get them. So I’m interviewing with a Senior Director of Product at Apple tomorrow and trying to think of a few good questions to ask at the end that are outside of the typical culture and work life questions. Any tips / suggestions on what you’ve asked in your interviews that have been well received?

These work if you set the stage as more of a discussion:
1. Ask their thoughts on the industry trends and how they see the business line changing over the next few years (good to bring some of your own thoughts if you've done some reading in the area)
2. Ask about their current pain points in the service line and what they're doing to resolve them (gives you a good idea of where some focus might be for your role)

Ask about the team you would be part of. Typical challenges in the past or pain points that you can help with.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
