Sometimes I feel I ask and talk too much. I struggle with how much and when to speak, especially during meetings. I am focused on aligning expectations early to avoid miscommunication later but is that a good strategy? Clarity saves time for everyone but how is that relevant to hiring processes? How are expectations usually clarified during hiring? I appreciate direct conversations.

We all do sometimes, I wouldn't worry too much. Just focus on how much others are speaking, know your role, and you'll be fine. Sometimes you need to lead conversations and explain your point of view, sometimes you need to be an active listener when someone is sharing something important to them.

Thanks for sharing

Hey follow over-thinker. Like the person above said, watch how much others speak and do the same. There is clarity, and then there is being repetitive and/or condescending. You want to make sure you don't cross that line. Pay attention to how others are responding to you. If answers are curt and people seem a bit annoyed, you may have stepped over that line.
