This is one of those few “social engineering” pay-walled click-bait articles that I’m very happy IS pay-walled to reduce its cogent thought pollution.

This is not wisdom. This is over-fitting industry/era/role-specific individual experience to generic candidate advice.

Do none of these things.

Even if the interviewer is forthright, you're never going to get actionable answers to these questions in this context.

If the interviewer is not, you'll be given falsehoods and platitudes.
