My favorite question to ask as the interviewee is kinda isomorphic of that one: "If you could spare $10,000 of the engineering budget to fix anything in your business right now, what would it be?"
I also like the similar: "If you could spend one week fixing anything in your app, what would it be?"
- ksenzee 11y agoThese are great questions. I'm imagining my answers, and the answers of people on my team, and I think they'd reveal quite a bit about us: personality, priorities, outlook, whether we'd rather fix people problems or software problems.
- dalke 11y agoThey are also highly contextual. If I've been self-employed for 5 years, selling an app but only making $30K/year - ie, not poor, but well below market - and decide that it's time to "get a real job", then there likely isn't something in my app that $10K will easily fix.
