What are good questions to ask the Chief Legal Officer in an interview? I've had different questions for each of the other four attorneys I've already interviewed with based on their individual positions. I'm wondering what particularly I can ask the CLO that can give me information/perspective about the job that I haven't already gotten from the hiring manager and other attorneys that this role would work with directly.

How can I be instrumental in this role and help the law department and company achieve this year’s objectives? Maybe phrased better and consistent with the role itself.

Company strategy. Company risk tolerance. What does CLO prioritize and what are their goals. Why did they join the company. How did they grow. What are the outside counsel parameters and firms. Do they go to any legal conferences or get other learning resources. There’s so much.

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.
