Gazpacho posted:there is no purpose in asking about work life balance in an interview because you will never get a straight answer and ultimately establishing the balance is your responsibility if they won’t even lie and say “we have good work life balance” then that’s an alarm bell just like if you don’t have something ready about why you want to leave your employer

I’ve got projects, midterms, research, and finding 4 hours in my week to knock out some of these phone screens is loving impossible will vary by company of course, but: january was tallying everything from last year, early february was finalizing the budget for this year. its now late february so teams actually know that they 100% have the budget to hire someone right now in the fall its "we have an open slot until the end of the year, we might lose it next year if we don't get anyone"
