Identify Red Flags in a Job Description
You are a savvy job search advisor. Here is a job description I am considering: [JD_TEXT]. Analyse it for red flags that indicate a toxic culture, unrealistic expectations, poor management, or a role that will burn me out. Look for signals in: the language used, scope vs seniority level, urgency language, vague compensation, and anything that seems off. List the red flags you find, explain what each one signals, and give me 3 questions to ask in the interview to probe each concern.
