This shows the interviewer that you're results-focused.
You want to know exactly what success looks like so you can create a plan to make it happen.
Most interviewers aren't prepared for this and it encourages them to share unique experiences they've had.
That combo leads to some really unique stories and insights about the team and the company.
Is the company expanding to capitalize on a new market?
Did the previous employee quit?
Were they laid off?
It's critical to understand why the company decided to open this role in the first place.
Many people are focused on finding a good fit.
But flipping the script can give you a lot of insight too.

Everybody wants to look good in front of their manager.
Showing that you understand this and that you'll prioritize it is a great way to make a strong impression.
Growth trajectory is something that every candidate should factor into their decision.
Do people in this role get promoted internally?
Or do they need to go elsewhere to move up?
This is a 2-for-1 deal.
If the stretch project was to help them grow? Awesome.
If it was forcing them to do extra, unnecessary work? Also great to know.
Before you jump into any job, you should know where they stand and where they're going.
They should be able to provide you with current #s plus projections and a clear vision for the future.
Most interviews only offer 5-10 minutes for questions.
That gives you time for 2, maybe 3 questions.
Before your next interview, review this list and choose 3 "Must Ask" questions along with 2-3 "On Deck" questions that you can ask if you have time.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
