Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope you have had a wonderful and well deserved time off today. I can honestly say I have not missed school at all. How was your day, and do you plan of doing any school-related stuff during the rest of the week?

Happy Thanksgiving! I had a great day, lots of very good food and got to spend time with family, some of whom I don't see often enough. And no, I'm not doing anything school related for the next few days. I believe that time off should be restorative, and that means time off, just tuning out from work. I guess school is always on my mind to some extent, but I'm going to do what I can to push it aside while I take a break.

Same here. I may take a couple hours to put in some grades. But that's all I'm allowing myself. Family's all off work tomorrow, so I'm spending time with them

Outside of salary, what other things have people negotiated as new hire, I’ve seen more PTO, working from home, sign on bonus, even stock options? How have you negotiated these things especially if you are new to negotiating? Any books or references that gave you a great foundation. I’ve been on my job search from sometime now and getting more interviews, I’m willing to take a pay cut, but wonder what else I can ask for outside of more pay? Thanks

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
