Why it matters
“Do you have any questions?” is part of the interview. Good questions show you are serious, and the answers tell you whether you actually want the job.
To the hiring manager
What does a great first three months look like in this role? What is the biggest challenge the team is facing right now? How is performance measured here? Why is this position open?
To a future teammate
What does a normal week look like? How does the team work with other teams? What do you like most about working here, and what would you change?
To HR
What is the fixed and variable split of the salary? What is the notice period and probation period? What does the interview process look like from here, and when should I expect to hear back?
Questions to avoid in a first interview
Leading with leave, salary hikes or work-from-home before you understand the role can come across badly. These are fair questions, but ask them once there is mutual interest, usually in the HR round.
