Hi Lauren! These sound like some great companies! Web development is arguably the most sought after position a tech major would be interested in. I like the questions you pose to each company as they focus on company growth and allow you to learn where the company plans to be in the the next few years. I chose a similar route with the questions I had for my companies, it’s always good to know if the company you plan on working for will change for the better so that you can evolve in your career.
Hi Lauren, I also like the companies you share. I grew up thinking that one day I would work for a high-tech company, but now as I got more involved in Internet technology, I realized that I was almost a beginner, so I shifted my focus to news writing and video production. Hopefully, you can still shine in these areas.
The questions you raised about the company are very specific and to the point. For example, I would never think of such professional questions like, the performance expectation over the first 12 months. Thank you for your sharing.
