Discussion on: Should I share my current salary with recruiters?

I write developer docs, so my questions might not apply for a developer.
I always ask the following questions:

  • What is the maximum salary offered?
  • Do they expect me to regularly work more than 40 hours/week (I don't have an issue about burning a few extra hours just before a release, but not as a rule)?
  • Is the role completely remote (if not, forget it)?
  • Do they care when I work (I tend to be an early bird)?
  • Do they have experience with docs people (I don't enjoy teaching the oblivious)?
  • Where are the team members located?
  • How often am I expected to attend team meetings (I'm leery if it's more than a couple meetings a week)?
  • Is this a new position? If not, what happened to the last person (from their response I can sometimes avoid a toxic work environment)?
