Starting the job hunt again, what are some questions you always ask in every interview?

These are what I typically asked.

1. Can you walk me through a typical day? (If they do not tell you what you would do on a daily basis)

2. How do you measure success (if viable) and what do you expect from me in the first 90 days?

3. What are the top 3 skill I’ll need to be successful in this role?

4. What is the hardest part of the learning curve for this role?

5. Is there anything you see that may hinder my moving forward with this role, that we can address now?

I always make a point to ask about what kind of medical records system they use. I've been burned one too many times and it was horrible.

Also depending on the position (I’m in management) I have learned to ask about their disciplinary system. I have been in places where I got my hand slapped for holding people accountable. Mostly because the company was afraid to lose staff. That also will tell you a lot. I would also ask about the turnover rate.

Anyone left to do program management at a tech co? I work largely as a functional delivery lead, driving teams to develop/implement software. In this world I know the way forward. I have an interview for a program manager position in the product management / marketing division. Not sure what to expect here— anyone exited similarly? I think my skills are transferable but think I’m too used to working in the weeds.
