Hello. If I’m interviewing for a role that requires travel and supporting international teams, what questions I should ask in this stage?

How much travels are included (percentage wise)? How much time per week you’d be calling international teams after your work hours? If you travel on the weekend, would the company pay extra overtime or can you take work days off to compensate weekend travel? You should reword… but you get the gist

Be sure to ask about how many people/projects you'll be supporting and how the organization as a whole coordinates and handle your work hour expectations around the time zone differences, what the "central" time zone is and COVID requirements, EU requirements right now around travel and support given the Ukraine as that could escalate. It's easy to get siloed in remote work organizations and that can make it difficult to do your job with global-facing positions. There can be a lot of fun in global travel but also a lot of physical and mental exhaustion, especially with jet lag and the "regular" job requirements of support roles. I would also look at how experienced the folks are that you're supporting. I sometimes find that I am in a position of knowing the jobs of people around me better than they do -- this is fine, happy to help, but it increases my workload substantially. That is very apparent right now in the workspace, so either you just work with that or help, but either way, I would investigate.
