Frequently asked questions
- How many questions should I ask?
- Two or three. Have five ready, because some will get answered during the interview.
- Is it fine to ask about salary?
- In a first round, usually wait until the interviewer or recruiter brings it up. With HR or in a final round it is normal to ask about the salary range and the process.
- What if all my questions were already answered?
- Say so, mention one thing you liked hearing, and ask about next steps: “You covered my questions about the team. What are the next steps and the timeline?”
