I recently read that interview questions that sound normal on the surface can actually hint at cultural issues. For example, phrases like "We're like a family here" or an intense focus on "resilience" might imply an expectation of excessive work hours or burdensome workload. What questions raise 🚩 red flags 🚩 for you?

Digital native = we're too stupid to realize that the real innovators are the people who actually created all of this technology, not the ones born using it and we value youth above all else.
Posted salary just says "competitive" = not at all competitive but we couldn't bamboozle you into an interview if we told the truth
Role is open because "we haven't found the right fit" = we're toxic AF and everyone runs away from us screaming OR we are totally incompetent bafoons that couldn't properly hire a monkey to eat a banana.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money
