Identify Whether a Job Is Worth Taking Based on Its Green and Red Flags
Job decisions made on optimism and excitement tend to reveal their problems in the first three months. A green and red flag analysis using what you already know and what you could find out is more reliable than the interview impression. This assesses the signals you have already encountered, identifies the information gaps, and gives you the two questions most likely to reveal what you do not yet know.
I am considering {JOB_OPPORTUNITY} and I want to identify the green and red flags before deciding.
What I know about the role and company:
{JOB_INFORMATION}
Help me evaluate this systematically:
1. **Green flags**: signals in what I have described that indicate the role is likely to be a good experience (from the hiring process, role design, company signals, manager behaviour)
2. **Red flags**: signals that indicate risk or likely problems (structural, cultural, or role-specific)
3. **Missing information**: the specific things I do not yet know that would most change the evaluation
4. **The two questions to ask in the next conversation** with the hiring manager that would reveal the most about the red flags
Be direct about the balance. Do not soften red flags with caveats. ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
