3 questions you wanna ask at the team interview stage to assess whether they're really clicky or not. When you go for a team interview, you're either gonna get a judgmental group of people that are purely assessing you for the vibe, or you're gonna get a genuine group of people that yes, will look at you for a cultural fit, but also will see if you have the actual skills they need for someone to fill that gap. Number 1, what is the most important contribution you need from this team member? Number 2, what's the biggest challenge you have overcome as a team? Number 3, what does the feedback loop look like or communication within the team? So next time you go for an interview, make sure you ask these questions to assess how genuine the team is that you're joining and whether they're just going to be judging you as to whether they like you or not.
