Hello,

I'm not really sure about the correct version:

You're speaking about your current job, aren't you?
You're speaking about your current job, don't you?

Which one do I have to use and why?
I'd go for the first one since it seems to be logical, but I was typing the 2nd one unconsciously - so I would like to be sure here.

Thank you in advance
Bye, Chris

The first one is correct, "...you are.........aren't you?"
