I want to ask a question about which questions to ask in an interview.

I have experience with this, I have to say: what to ask in an interview depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core problem with what to ask in an interview is something else. honestly think about it like this...

Absolutely. If I were to add anything: The harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it.

The only thing separating friendship from partnership is a written contract. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

I've been dealing with this for a long time. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

The harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it. Proven by experience.

I completely agree. When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best.

Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

Yes, that's exactly how it is with what to ask in an interview. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

i disagree with you on this point. trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

if you post the result here it will help others too.

Let me summarize what's been said so far. If you're offering equity instead of salary, also state what you're offering in return.
