Reallllly depends on the the industry, the company, the department and the team.
——
Questions to ask yourself when looking at job so you can be picky:
- What industry are they in (helps determine if it’s interesting)
- Their place in the industry (helps if there’s growth)
- What is the next frontier for the industry (helps determine if you are going to be laid off)
——
And when they interview you, be sure to interview them, especially if you get to talk to technical members:
- What does your specific team work on (helps determine whether their work is interesting)
- How big is the team (helps determine if you’re gonna be a cog)
- What kind of inter-team collaboration goes on, including non-technical teams (helps determine the culture)
- Talk to me about your architecture (helps you determine the tech you will be working on)
- Ask questions about why they built in that way (if they cannot answer these, I would run)
- What’s their release process like (you’re almost looking for key words here)
Don’t be afraid to ask. I asked questions for like an hour before deciding this job was for me. It should flow like a conversation with a friend though.
