Thought this would be a useful thread. What do people think are some of the best questions to ask interviewers at the end of an OCI interview?

I know plenty are firm specific, but we can generalize a bit here.

What's the biggest challenge the firm is facing? (or the office specifically)

Just go with the flow of the interview. That'll pan out better for you than trying to stick a question in there inorganically.

I've used this a lot. Gotten only positive responses, I feel like it shows you understand constructive criticism or something.

"So, when can I start?"


I've gotten some good responses to something like "what distinguishes a great [position applied for] from an okay one?"

The best questions happen as part of the organic interview process, but if the interview didn't lend itself to any good questions (or frankly if you blank in the moment), it can never hurt to ask why your interviewer chose their practice group. Assuming, of course, you didn't already discuss this during the interview.
