That sounds disgusting. Thank you for sharing that. Why don't they just advertise "Over-time expected and over-time compensation provided"?





Most likely because they expect overtime but won't compensate overtime

So they are hoping to hire someone who will do it for free


I couldn't get an exact good gauge on what their aim was.

They made a point at 'work-life balance', decent but not great PTO. Pay was from 150-300, but glassdoor shows around 175.

It did have on call, but my profession does.

But the conversation was weird - what were they REALLY asking for that they couldn't outright say? Were they trying to ask if I have a family and obligations? Pregnant wife? Willingness to slave away hours above my negotiated pay?

It definitely felt strange. This is a job, not a calling. And they would 'transact' (read: fire) me just as fast if the economics didn't pan out.
