Many times in interviews, candidates will not have questions prepared, thinking this shows off how well-researched and prepared they are. However, the truth is quite the opposite. By asking a couple of pre-prepared questions, you show the interviewer full engagement and interest. Be sure that your queries are not mundane or redundant. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a question that is easily answered by simple research.
Dig a bit deeper and ask questions such as: 'What is your favorite part about working for Goldman Sachs?' or 'Is there anything from my resume or our conversation that I can clarify for you?'

"Thank you for asking! A couple of questions come to mind. What do you see as the biggest challenge Goldman Sachs will be facing in the next 12 months? Also, what is your wealth manager turnover rate? Lastly, could you tell me about the retention plan you currently have in place for your wealth managers?"

"Would you like me to clarify anything in my work or educational background? What has your experience been, and how would you describe the work culture in this department?"

If you review Goldman Sachs' blog, you'll find a series of articles called "Ask the Recruiter." In one such article, they advise, "One of the biggest mistakes you can make in an interview is not asking questions at the conclusion. Stay away from logistical questions. Asking one to two business-related questions, a question about company culture and a question about the interviewer's personal experience, is a good guide. Prepare questions more generally, then try to apply your pre-prepared questions in a more personalized way by being a good listener when the interviewer is talking. It's always good to jot down a couple of quick notes you can refer back to. In addition, the person may have said something during the interview that you want to know more about, which is great; tell them why it piqued your interest and ask to hear more."
