however, this is why some teams have 'bootcamp', as it allows the people applying to get a feel for what the team is like and whether it would be a good fit for them. once you make it, most teams also have a three month trial period, which again allows both the team to see if you are a good fit for them and the new member themselves to decide whether being on the team lives up to their expectations.
if you wanna know more about any team without applying, nt also did articles on all the teams like a year or two ago, which you can find here. though these articles don't allow you to get a feel for how it's like to be on a team yourself, they do give you the answers to most of your questions @Nuola

or maybe a couple of us could group up to either create a blog, news piece, or youtube video on a day in the life of a xxx (blogger team, youtube team, designer team, etc.)?
that's actually a fun idea, haha. though i don't think that, realistically, any team would ever do this, i'd honestly love to like spend a day with a team i have never been on... like shadow a mod or et or bt, just for funcould it be possible to shadow different teams sort of like an intern? that way prospective applicants can see what the position consists of and get a better idea of what is expected of them, how much time certain tasks will take, etc.?
