Anybody know anything about doing UX design with MediaMath? My friend said they extended her an offer for a UX designer but that all communication has been done through email. and the position is hourly at first and some benefits dont seem to come in until after 3 months?

Is that a red flag? Any advice out there on how to proceed?

The 3 month thing is typical. Medical benefits should be at week 1 to make sure she remains covered, but things like time off, 401k matching, and things like that are typically added in later at every company I've been to.

So there have been no call/video interviews?

Agreed, sketchy. Is this their first job? Do they need this job in particular?

No verbal interviews does worry me a bit, usually those are to find people that fit the culture. Best case they don't really care about their work culture. Worst case scam (I have had a buddy lose 4k and his old job to a scam targeting new UX designers)

I would advise major caution and reach out to their social media channels or HR/ recruiter employees from their LinkedIn.

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?
