This was tricky. I explained that I would try to be sure to discuss such potential situations with my manager before they came up in practice to have a good plan about how this sort of thing should be approached. In this particular case, I'd respond to the request and give my preliminary analysis but would emphasize to the requester that it was pending approval from higher up. I'd then reach out to someone else at my manager's level or higher to get their opinion on whether additional sign-off/review would be necessary. The interviewer who asked this question was kind of poker-faced but didn't seem too satisfied with that answer. Moins
