Probably I would have asked to connect on LinkedIn, exchange private emails etc. I see no big problem here in fact. | |

| May 30, 2017 at 19:41 | comment | added | stannius | Regarding the specific questions: You are unlikely to get a useful answer to question 3: Most people don't tell their employer when they start looking for a new job, so they definitely aren't going to tell a stranger, at least not on company property. Similarly for question four, with few exceptions, say perhaps they already told you that most of the dev team recently left, in which case they would be expecting that question. | |
