What are some of the best questions to ask the hiring manager/team in interviews? Like questions that are different than the boilerplate or generic ones such as “what does success look like….?” I’ve recently started asking how AI affects the role, what role it plays in the firms strategy, etc. as one of my questions. Curious to hear your thoughts.

As an interviewer, don’t ask me any question that makes it sound like you just want to look good rather than a legitimate question in which you want to know the answer so as to gauge your own interest in the role.

I like the questions like, “what’s a typical day like” or “what are some of the folks on your project in this role responsible for”, etc.

I absolutely love any ego check questions that show you have boundaries up front.

"You're trying to hit a deadline but you need last minute support. How do you approach me?"

"I'm on vacation and I don't answer your call. How do you respond?"

"I come to you with constructive feedback about something you did that didn't land well in a meeting. What is your thought process?"
