I know there are things to look for but with the recent job postings especially for MLMs and these hard sales job, how do you spot red flags in job interviews now?

I default to the belief that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Any job posting that promises flexibility and the ability to WFH sets off alarm bells for me. Same thing with promises of weekly pay. And if anyone says they're going to send you a check to purchase home office supplies, run. The check will bounce and you'll be out the money. I've seen tons of posts on Fishbowl describing this and it's always a scam.

Some red flags I watch for include vague job descriptions, emphasis on “unlimited earning potential” without clear details, or pressure to make decisions quickly. If they dodge questions about work-life balance or turnover rates, that’s a big sign too.

I do miss seeing my colleagues sometimes but being able to actually use random breaks in the day that you get in transactional, especially as a junior, productively (work out, cook a meal, fold laundry) has made this job so much easier and sustainable for me. It’s still exhausting and so unpredictable and the December crush is killing me but I don’t know how anyone did this for more than a year or two pre-Covid when people spent all day and evening in the office.

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.
