The obvious answer is a 5-10% salary increment. That's a red flag because it takes a very long time for someone to become useful, even a senior. You don't want to invest in someone who just leaves 8 months later for a slightly higher salary.

If we were offering a 30% increment or something that's stupid to turn down, that's not so bad.

The other thing is gauging culture fit. Are you looking for growth? Well, this is a write hacky stuff based off designs so you're not going to be happy here.

Are you moving closer to home? Why pick us when we're the same distance?

Do you think your previous job has no financial security? We should probably let you know that we only have 11 months runway.
