>Asking too many question during an interview isn't a thing.

Not so sure about that. I recently interviewed where I asked something along the lines of, "So what would my daily responsibilities look like?" They refused to tell me what I would be doing day-to-day. No specifics on technologies, platforms, would I be helping internal/external groups, etc. Could not even get them to elaborate on specifics in the job posting itself.

I have a buddy who interviewed at a company in the Valley back in around 1998. They also refused to tell him what his daily responsibilities would be like. He said to himself, "I'm not going to waste my time parsing f'in Apache log files!", and turned them down.

That company? Google. He would've been employee # < 100, and comfortably retired in 10 years.
