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.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
