I need some interview help. I’m great until the very end, but then they ask for my questions, and I have nothing. I know it looks bad to say "no," but I'm stuck. Aside from salary stuff, what are some good, simple questions that make you look like a great candidate?

I always ask the question, “What is a problem you expect someone in this role to encounter?” I think it tells a lot about the role and the kinds of challenges someone in that position might face. It is one of my favorite questions to ask in an interview.

I like to put it in their court and ask if they had unilateral authority to change one thing within their department, What would they change or update. It’s a two full question where you get to learn a little something about areas that need improvement within the company and how management might go to bat for you.

It also shows you how willing they might be to listen to feedback from you if you’re there and have some ideas on changes for efficiency purposes or better balance.

I ask questions like “what would you consider is a success in this role” and depending on how the vibes of the interviewer was I might also ask “what do you like and dislike the most about working here”.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research.

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Would love to get insight from folks here as I’m not quite sure what to do. I currently have around 14K in student loan debt and enough saved up to pay it off in one fell swoop. What I’m struggling with is whether I should invest that money into the stock market (thinking less risky S&P 500 ETF) and pay off my student loans monthly with the average payment being around 1000 so I can pay it off in about 16-18 months (due to interest being around 5%) or pay it off all in one go?
