The questions YOU should ask

In short: Ask questions about the role, the team's ways of working, culture, and growth — an interview is not a one-way street, and your questions show interest while protecting you from the wrong job. Close with the meta-question of whether anything about your profile gives them pause, so you can address concerns on the spot.

About the role

• What does a typical day/week look like?
• How would you tell in 6 months that I'm succeeding?

About the team & ways of working

• How do you make technical decisions?
• How do code reviews, deployments, on-call work?
• How do you handle technical debt?

About culture & growth

• What does growth here actually look like?
• What do people who stay value — and why do people leave?

The red-flag check

• Why is the position open?
• How would you describe the mood on the team?
