Interview question

How to answer: "Do you have any questions for us?"

Quick answer

Always have 3–5 thoughtful questions ready for 'do you have any questions for us?'. Ask about the team's priorities, what success looks like in the role, challenges they're facing, and culture — questions that show genuine interest and help you evaluate fit. Never say 'no questions', and avoid asking things easily found online.

Why interviewers ask this

Your questions signal engagement and judgement. Interviewers read 'no questions' as low interest, and good questions help you decide if the role is right for you.

How to structure your answer

  • Ask what success looks like in the first 6–12 months.
  • Ask about the team's current priorities or challenges.
  • Ask about culture, ways of working, or growth.
  • Have more questions than you'll need, in case some get answered.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Saying 'no, I think you've covered everything'.
  • Asking only about salary, holiday or perks.
  • Asking things obvious from the website.
  • Not preparing any questions in advance.

Frequently asked questions
