Casual Convo with Interviewer fr PE

Is it ok to ask your interviewer In PE - let’s assume that he’s also a male - the following questions or are they considered too personal / inappropriate

1) are you married 2) how do you spend ur time in the city 3) what are your 5 to 10 year goals 4) is weekend wrk Done 5) what carry should I expect as I go senior

all of the questions are fine except questions 1 and 4. Don't ask those questions or any like them. If you really want to find out if they work on the weekends (and I mean duh, it's PE), see if you can find out indirectly from a more junior guy.
