For anyone doing a job search right now, what are some non-negotiables for you? Is there anything (outside of salary) that will make you immediately disqualify a role from your list or anything you’ve seen during an interview that makes you change your mind?

I’ve come across a few during past interviews that made me think otherwise midway through the process. Was wondering if anyone else has those moments.

Yes! My last two interviews presented some red flags. One was where the recruiter said the team culture was like shark tank. Second place the recruiter said there was unlikely any flex on salary for a role that paid less than my current even for a higher title. Both roles were 3 days on office when I currently wfh (office is optional)

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
