Your ability to ask smart, thoughtful questions helps potential employers feel comfortable about investing in you. It also demonstrates that you have great judgement and an ability to recognize key elements that are an important part of being successful in any role. Just as you have to sell them on your skills and abilities, they have to sell you on why their role is appealing. This means engaging with you during the interview process, answering your questions with an appropriate level of transparency, and demonstrating how great of a manager and company they are. You should walk out of the interview feeling excited and confident that you want to work for them!
