The article discusses the importance of recognizing red flags during job interviews, highlighting the tendency of job seekers to ignore warning signs in favor of an appealing company culture. The author reflects on past mistakes, emphasizing that interviews are a two-way street where candidates should actively inquire about day-to-day responsibilities and evaluate the company's understanding of the role. Best practices include seeking clarity in job descriptions and assessing how much effort the company requires from candidates during the interview process, as these can indicate a mismatch in expectations.
