Questions that signal seniority
Write one closing question that signals seniority for this role and name one red flag to avoid, explaining why each lands the way it does.
Step 1 of 3
Walk in with five questions so two survive the conversation. The questions you ask are themselves a seniority signal - a founding finance-systems hire probes the stack's real pain and the audit bar, not the perks.
Aim at the seams of the system you'd own and assume it's partly unbuilt. A question that takes for granted there's a current reconciliation or close fire and asks which one is worst signals that you'd run toward the hard problem rather than ask for a comfortable seat.
