The questions worth asking.

An interview is a conversation about fit. That goes both ways.

Illustrative career story

Ask about a real week

What would a typical week look like? How much time is spent collaborating, in meetings, or working independently? Concrete examples give you a better feel for the job than a general culture statement.

Understand how decisions get made

Ask about a recent decision the team found difficult. Who was involved? What helped them move forward? Their answer can tell you how feedback, disagreement, and ownership work in practice.

Find out what success means

Ask what the team hopes this person will achieve in the first three months. Clear expectations help you decide whether the opportunity fits your strengths and whether you’ll have the support to do good work.
