Questions to ask them
Respond to "Why does asking 'how does the team decide what not to research?' work especially well as a senior signal for this role?" Name the reason and the detail behind it.
Step 1 of 3
The questions you ask are graded as hard as the answers you give. A flat, talent-dense team reads your questions as a preview of how you will operate inside, so reach past logistics into how research actually drives the roadmap and how the team decides where to point it.
Aim each question at the person in front of you. A hiring manager can tell you what research is expected to drive this quarter; a future cross-functional partner can tell you how findings actually get consumed. Two well-aimed questions beat a list of five generic ones.
