I'll give my anecdote on this:

When I used to not have any questions after the interview - I got rejected what felt like a weirdly high amount and definitely a weird tone from the interviewer.

When I started asking questions - the interviewer seemed to have a much more positive outlook on me and my acceptance rate went up.

I've interviewed a lot and there are people you have to ask questions to or else they will reject you.



As an interviewer and hiring manager, a candidate not asking questions indicates a lack of interest in the company/role. I appreciate when a candidate interviews me about the role, the team and the company. It demonstrates a desire to take advantage of an opportunity to gather more information about whether this is the right opportunity for them.
