TBWA NY recruiter?
Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

You won’t get what you don’t ask for.
Give it a shot! Worst they can do is say no…
I say ask away. Just be careful with those handshake deals. They're easy to renege on and people don't have much integrity anymore.
I do actually trust this hiring manager. I just don’t know if my asking for this would come across as somehow being not above board.
I am in a similar situation. I negotiated for a schedule that allowed valuable time for other areas of my life, and to job search and interview for that needed job.
They wanted part time and my work was tied to projects. I was able to gain agreement with a flexible schedule (more hours on heavy work weeks and fewer hours on light work week). Also was able to negotiate that daily schedule in the AM, leaving afternoons open on light work weeks. Even able to shorten the week to no Fridays if work demand allowed for my absence.
I was able to show that they would stay in budget and still get the outcomes they wanted, with my preferred schedule.
You can ask for paid time off, but not sure how that would be received as they are financially concerned about the situation.
If your goal is to make more money, use this job for what it can offer and keep it secondary to your goal of finding that better paying position.
Actually I prefer the current situation. I just want to be paid more while not feeling like I’m getting pinched every time I need to take time off. So I’m trying to think of creative solutions to negotiate. I was making my current target 5 years ago pre COVID when I contracted for a different company. When I calculated that rate it was with time off factored in so that my take home was fairly equivalent to a FT role w paid vacation.
