The questions were more philosophical. I am with strong credentials and was actually taking a step down in positions (I was formerly a Sr Manager over three teams that consisted of 60+ employees, to being a Lead/individual contributor. This was fine as that is what I wanted during that part in my career. As someone who has interviewed 500+ potential candidates in my career, I knew what they were thinking so I actually led the interview and told them what I assumed they wanted to know.
