I tend to ask about three to four questions. Is this too much? I am usually very interested..so I don't think it would deter the interview. However, sometimes..I feel the interviewer might be rushing you to end the interview. This may happen on phone or in person interviews. Let me know your experiences or opinions. Thanks.

Ignore the first poster. Never never never ask about money during a first interview. This gives off a bad vibe to the potential employer and they think you are only there for the money. (which most people are and they already know that) If they are interested in you, they will probably ask you back that day or call you back again in a few days for a 2nd interview, and you can ask them pay information and stuff like that then. For your first interview though, I would ask them information such as "how do YOU personally like working for the company?" "Can you describe what my typical day would be?" "What is something about the company that you would like for me to know about that I wouldn't be able to find out about on the website?" This shows that you are actually interested in the company itself, and not just the amount that you'd be getting. Good luck!!

3 to 4 is good. As long as you are not asking any of the things the above poster mentioned.
I always try to develop 9 questions, 3 questions about the background of company/founders, 3 questions about the interviewer and their position in the company, and 3 questions about the specifics of the job and direction the company is going.
Try to drop these questions at the appropriate time during the interview, not lumped all together at the end. If you walk in with a notebook and good questions written down, when the interviewer brings up a subject that touches on one of your questions, ask it then.
If you feel the interviewer is "rushing" you, then you have probably already been ruled out for the job.

Most people forget the most important question: "Can I have the job?"

Ask how much you will get paid.
Ask how much vaca you get.
Ask if it's o.k. to come in late.
Ask for an advance on your paycheck.
Good luck!
