1 on 1 meeting with a senior executive..what to ask?

[FuglyP99]

I recently interviewed for a position with a couple of senior developers. They wanted to hire me, but thought I'd be a better fit for a new project, so they called me back for a second interview with the CTO. I just went in there with a good attitude, wasn't afraid to say "I don't know, but I can find out", and was pretty casual about the whole process.

They made me a damn good offer later that same day.

Most interviews, at least for something that is career oriented, are going to be more about finding out what you're like to work with and if you're compatible with the groove of the company/team than anything else. Everything else can be learned.

As far as what to ask, ask about what you'll be doing. Ask about the company. Ask about them and what sort of role they'll have with you should you get the job. Ask about the industry. Ask how long they've been trying to fill the position. Ask anything! Most interviewers would rather be answering your questions than asking theirs.
