You’re *almost* done with your SOC analyst interview. You’re asked, “Do you have any questions for us?” Here’s a couple to consider if not covered as part of the interview process (hint: they should be). 1. A year from now, this person has come in and absolutely knocked it out of the park. What does that look like? (You’ll learn what success looks like) 2. Conversely, 6 months from now, it didn’t work out-you have to move on from this person. What happened? (You’ll learn what failure looks like) 3. How would you describe the culture? And would you say you’re nurturing that culture or do you want to change it? (You’ll learn what it feels like when management isn’t in the room) 4. What do the career pathways look like for this role and how often are more senior roles filled via promo vs. outside hire? (You’ll understand what growth looks like) 5. Will the team be growing in size this year? If so, by how much? (Growing teams come with challenges but there’s also a ton of opportunity) 6. What does turnover look like? (If high, this could be a potential warning sign that things may be amiss)
