Users in the comment sections reiterated the importance of asking questions during interviews.
A user wrote, "I had a recent interview where I was the last one out of 15 people and they only had asked me 3 or 4 questions. I said nope, I made sure to ask questions because I did not waste 3 hours waiting and be called last for nothing. I ended up getting the job after that."
"As a former big law and current Wall Street lawyer, I co-sign these follow-up questions!" another user commented.
A third user remarked, "I wouldn't ask question 2 because you are actively asking them to find negatives about you that they may or may not have thought about. The others are fine."
