what's up y'all farts here and today
we're going to be talking about not
questions that you're being asked in an
interview but questions that you should
ask in an interview considering you're
watching this video i'm going to take a
wild guess and say that you have an
interview coming up you did a little bit
of research online or maybe you just
know that you should be asking the
interviewer questions just as the
interviewer is asking you questions now
something i want to say before we talk
about the five questions that i have
laid out in this video is that you
should think of questions that you're
genuinely interested in asking whether
that be about the company about the
people that work there about your job in
particular but i'm making this video
because maybe these questions that i
have that i'm going to be presenting to
you you want the answer to you just
didn't know it yet question number one
who are the members of the team that
you'll be on you're not necessarily
asking this question for them to say
yeah you're working with bob and sally
over there no you're asking this
question so you get a better
understanding of who bob and sally are
as people how many years of experience
they have doing software development how
many years they've been working at the
company and information like that if
there's any other information that the
interviewer didn't answer from that
initial question make sure you have
follow-up questions like what i just
mentioned how long have they been
working here have they been on the same
team the whole time did the tech lead or
the senior developer start off in my
position those are a few questions that
you can ask to follow up that in case
you didn't get all the information that
you want question number two where are
your former software developers now the
reason behind this question is so you
have a better understanding of your
potential career growth within this
company if you have software developers
who are now senior developers or tech
leads or even somewhere in senior
management like a vp or a cto then you
can see that starting off as a software
developer this company can give you good
results if you want to climb the
corporate ladder if you just want to
stay at a software development position
that's probably okay too but this gives
you a better understanding of the
potentials within this company question
number three is a bit of a two-part
question where it's what type of
technology does a company use and what
processes practices do they follow so in
terms of technology you're asking about
the stack that they develop with the
languages the tools like what ides can i
choose whatever ide i want that type of
stuff and then when it comes to the
processes and practices do you do agile
development how often do you do stand-up
how long are your sprints those types of
questions you just want to dive in so
one you can show the interviewer that
you're genuinely interested in what is
going to be going on in your day to day
work and two so you understand what
you're going to be doing on a day-to-day
basis in terms of your work like what
languages and tools and methodologies
you'll be following question number four
i really like asking this question is
why do you like working here because
it's always nice to hear firsthand as to
why someone is working at a particular
company whether they like it for the
benefits or the salary or the culture
the people around them or maybe it's
just another job and of course the
people who are interviewing you more
often than not are going to say how much
they like it this is when you want a
little bit of your social deductive
skills to come into play and you want to
be able to read this person to
understand if they're lying or if
they're actually telling the truth and
when asking a question like this in an
interview it may catch them off guard to
the point where you can generally tell
if they're telling the truth or if
they're lying don't call them out on
online or not just just just retain all
the information that you gathered from
that particular question and move
forward don't don't like be like i can
tell you're lying it's a bad idea
question number five why are you
bringing on a software developer you'd
ask this question to find out are they
replacing a software developer who's
been promoted a software developer who
has quit are they expanding the team
because maybe the scope of this project
has grown
why are they hiring a new software
developer
it's kind of important and bonus
question one that i feel like everyone
should be asking that is a question
about the company itself about the
company's history i'm sure you've done
research on the company in which you're
interviewing for if you haven't close
this video right now after you subscribe
and give it a big thumbs up go on over
to the company website and do your
research because you want to know what
type of company you're working for what
that company stands for overall at least
in the public eye and then maybe learn a
little bit about the history on your own
or in the interview when you're asking
this question to me the history of a
company is incredibly important just to
understand where they started and where
they are now the growth of that company
just the overall history maybe that's
because i've worked at a lot of
companies that have a lot of history and
i'm a history buff so that's just kind
of my thing but just ask a little bit
more about
maybe the future of the company instead
of the history of the company where do
you guys see yourselves in five years
depending on who you're talking to if
you have a favorite interview question
that you like to ask when you're being
interviewed please drop those in the
comment section below please be sure to
subscribe like and
cut that's essentially the end of the
five questions that you should be asking
or interview or whatever the heck i
titled this video what i want to talk
about now is a little bit about the
channel one
if we haven't already hit it by the time
of this video upload this will be the
last video i upload before hitting 100
000 subscribers or it'll be the first
video i upload upon hitting 100 000
subscribers so if you aren't already
subscribed and you found value in this
video please be sure to subscribe and
hit the thumbs up button because well
you like the video and i've also taken
most of y'all's advice on last video i
am indeed going to wait until july 7th
if you aren't familiar with what i'm
talking about last video was about me
picking the parts for my new pc build
i'm replacing like a five-ish year old
pc finally about time to upgrade but
everyone's telling me to wait on the new
amd hardware to be released or yeah
released on july 7th i'm gonna wait
until july 7th hopefully that week after
there will be a lot of youtube
reviews if you will so i'm going to wait
until all that is out and then i'm going
to make my decision on do i want to go
with amd or do i want to go with intel
amd i'll probably save some money
hopefully this new amd hardware in terms
of cpu and gpu are a lot better than the
intel or at least you know comparable
because if i can save 100 or 200 or 300
dollars for something that's essentially
exactly the same
i'm gonna do it i i don't like to spend
a lot of money so if you're following
along with the pc build series wait
july 7th uh maybe a week or two after is
when episode two will come out of that
pc build series once i get all the parts
in and start to put them together i also
want to talk about the launch of the
business that i've mentioned every year
and there over the past few months i've
been working on since probably
last summer maybe last fall trying to
get everything together thinking about
it contemplating now over the past
however many months i've been doing all
the legal stuff all of my due diligence
and everything that goes into launching
a business and no i haven't announced
exactly what that business is just yet
but i will sometime soon and it's
looking like closer to the end of july
or maybe early august it just all
depends on how everyone i'm working with
because i'm working with a lot of local
companies in virginia north carolina how
long it takes them and how long it takes
the shipping and things of that nature
there's a lot going on
i just want to be honest with you
sometime late july early august
expect the business launch i'm really
excited about that that's essentially
what i want to talk about the end of
this video hope you guys enjoyed all of
it be sure to subscribe if you haven't
