A job interview is a conversation, not an interrogation.
Ask as many questions as your potential future employer does, and don’t put yourself below them.
You are equals negotiating whether you want to enter into a business partnership.
This achieves several things:
First, you learn more about what working with them will be like, when you actually ask.
Second, if they react negatively and try to establish a position of dominance over you, well then you know that they’re like that.
Third, it’s a good way to fight stage fright and feelings of insecurity. This is not a test you pass or fail. Or rather, the other party is equally likely to fail your expectations.
Lastly, and most importantly, it communicates an air of confidence, which actually makes it much more likely you’ll land the job if you want it.
Being timid and submissive makes you look desperate, which is not a good look, and will likely lead to a lower salary as well.
