I'm gearing up for some interviews over the next few weeks. I've seen the advice that you should ask the interviewer if they have any concerns about your resume or answers. Is this really a good idea?

You don't HAVE to ask that. If you prefer to focus more on showing them you're interested in the job and want to perform it well then ask questions such as:

1) What is something that you wish someone in this position before me would have done better?

2) What do you hope I will be able to do performance wise in 3 months?

3) How is performance of this job measured?

Show them you're serious about this position and you want to do it well.

I agree with LS Analyst 1. You wouldn't want to volunteer any weakness, not in your answers not in your questions. Interviewing is selling, your skills, you experience, and all you can do.
If you are really anxious to learn these things presenting your questions as a general topic, won't take points from you and you will at least satisfied your curiosity. Good luck!

I ask in all of mine. Might explain why I’m still unemployed 🤣

I applied and got a position for aws . I got an offer and asked some questions. I didn't get a reply, from multiple individuals. Two weeks later received a phone call that my recruiter was let go and I was in limbo essentially, they said they'd get in touch with me closer to the timeline we discussed and they were sorry about the mixup. I called back the person to get more information (since I was running errands) and nothing again. No response and no other way to contact this person. Ideas?

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
