Episode Details

Most job interviews are one-way evaluations disguised as conversations. The company gets 45 minutes to probe you; you get five minutes and a courtesy question. In this episode, we break down three tradecraft-inspired techniques — the Future State projection, the Predecessor Probe, and the Constraint Cascade — that bypass rehearsed answers and surface real information about culture, turnover, and team dynamics. Learn how to ask questions that sound thoughtful but reveal what Glassdoor can’t: whether you’ll actually want to work there.
