[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 240787, member: 43563"] [USER=43580]@TCLAuser2002[/USER] I don't think there is actually a set list, and honestly if there is, your interviewer has probably heard it a million times before. I think its important to bear in mind that strong interview questions aren't always those that are the most articulate or simply sound well put together, but instead, they are the ones that show a genuine interest in the path you're considering, and a motivation for success - so, any strong question for an interview, let alone a TC interview, is essentially based on a few fundamentals: 1. The role 2. Life at the firm 3. Type of work 4. Future insight Bearing these in mind, as a candidate you should leverage the opportunity to ask about any of the four fundamentals above in a way that is meaningful to you, e.g. (The Role) "[I]What do I need to have achieved, in the first 6 months, to be considered successful in this role? (Type of Work) "Given my interest in [practice area], what would you say are the key challenges and opportunities Trainees face in this department? etc. [/I] [/QUOTE]
