Looking back on changing jobs

Looking back on changing jobs, I remember how much of the decision was about the ordinary working week. The interesting technology mattered, but so did who I'd learn from and how decisions would get made.

It's difficult to assess those things from a job description. I'd ask more about a recent project now: what went wrong, how the team handled it, what they'd do differently. The answer tells me more than a list of values on a careers page.
