what are you looking for in your next job ?

very standard interview question: What are you looking for in your next job? how do people answer this. what i am looking for in reality is nothing special. good WLB good Pay good brand name interesting project - opportuntiy to learn smart colleagues to learn from manager is not an asshole or slave driver. good team dynamics and rapport growth into a EM role questions: can i just say this upfront? i think not 🙄 how do people answer this question usually? not sure asking about WLB is a good idea. are companies negative about it. #interview #tech TC: 290k (at startup. quit snap) yoe: 11

WLB is my biggest one. I work to live not live to work. Pay comes 2nd to me. That's all I really need. Btw how was working a snap? Seems like a fun place to be

Wlb as primary works for me only if tc is at least past a certain point

Snap doesn’t have a good WLB. It’s like FB or Amazon. Great pay. But they will Make you work like a slave.

What does work like a slave really mean? Like 996? Or 50hrs a week?

I thought 50 hts per week is just to stay in job in Bay

How do you ask about WLB. Anyone have any experience. I have found employers get anxious when asked about WLB. It reflects negatively in the interview.

Prodege smoke420 Jan 21, 2020

Seems like the best route would be to ask when an offer is presented. I guess come off as very candid and say that your WLB is very important and have them understand that it can be a deal breaker all while stressing the fact that you get your shit done.

This is filter question to see if you can BS. "Im looking for a company where there are difficult problems, opportunities to grow, and a friendly culture. What I really like about SoulessCorp is ..."

Honestly I focus on growth as a person and within a team, especially when I was young. When they ask if I have questions for them that's when I get into WLB

Sounds like you work for the right company, Oracle / Sales. The 80s was a long time ago.

Dropbox Drop 📦 Jan 22, 2020

Dropbox offers all this :) And a question to ask about WLB is: “When was the last time you took a vacation for longer than a week?”

Microsoft Tqhq86 Jan 22, 2020

From the outside, drop makes 95% of arr from storage... Is there a second hit or growth opp? Will it die in 5yrs?

Facebook hblk Jan 22, 2020

Yeah the only downside of Dropbox is probably the growth opportunities.

Reorder to have pay at bottom, leave out part about manager. I say your statement should be positive and forward thinking but be realistic
