Think it’s worth noting that a lot of these are tailored towards startups or smaller firms, are interview stage dependent, and seem geared towards management level.

If you come to a large tech firm and ask who our competitors are or what our advantage is, I’m going to assume you haven’t done your homework, and am going to turn the question around you and ask you what your view of the landscape is. Understandable if this is a startup or lesser known firm.

Now that my rant is out of the way, these are good questions for startups. If you’re considering one it would be prudent to know what stage of funding they’re at, who their backers are, what their perception of the landscape is, what the long term plan is post exit if they’re PE/VC backed etc. also with regards to shares, dig in to the value & pool structure. I would also save the vesting questions until negotiations start, we all know you’re going to get equity.

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?
