Moved to industry. I have a catch-up session with VP that interviewed & hired me this week. What are some questions I should ask him? I was thinking about projects coming down the pipeline, where we are with a certain major project, and goals for 2021. I don’t know what else to talk about or if those topics are even good? I do want to know the answers to these questions

Sounds like it's a good opportunity to get to know him too, before the holidays . Then chat about goals and what you've been doing to get plugged in and ready for the new year.

"where's the bathroom?", "does the company caf have diet mountain dew?" :-) Seriously, the key questions are: 1. What are the priorities that you see right now for my 15-day, 30-day and 60-day plan? 2. Who are key people I need to connect with? (and can that VP make the right intros), 3. Ask the VP to share any existing strategy documents and/or annual plan.

I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.
