While giving interviews I always ask the interviewer about the tech-debt they have

it's a power move

the interviewer pretends to be all high almighty, this question immediately flips the equation

anyway this helps you in understanding their tech maturity

As an interviewer I would never discuss internal tech debt with an external candidate. It would go again policy also sometimes.

Policy my ass. I'm open to talking about tech debt. There's nothing wrong with showing the chaos and brittle infra that the company runs on.

Why lure a good engineer into the company for peanuts pay, bad culture and chaotic tech debt, and make them suffer like you do ?

I'd rather let the company suffer from its bad decision in the past, than risk someone's career into suffering from a debt they have no idea about 🙂

Not everyone in India is working in a service based org or companies with that kinda culture :)

Not just tech maturity but also the work culture in the sense where their priorities are.
