I'm job hunting and need a reality check. When interviewing, I want to ask about realistic expectations for call-ins and overtime, but I'm worried it'll make me seem like I'm already looking for the easy way out. What are more subtle ways to ask about work-life balance in an interview?

I'd put it off until the later rounds. It seems silly, but I think you're probably right that it could be held against you early on. When you do ask, position it as a scheduling question and maybe don't mention it directly. Bring up what your current schedule is like for reference. "I'm currently working 3 12s a week with 3 mandatory weekend days each month. Is it similar here?" This gives them the opening to elaborate on OT and call-ins without thinking you've got a problem with having to be a team player.

I’ve learned to listen closely when they describe “a typical shift.” If they mention overtime as a regular thing, that tells you plenty. You don’t always have to ask directly to get the answer.

Feeling under-qualified for non-FAANG tech product counsel role. Final interview upcoming. I'm a BigLaw junior and pivoted to data privacy/cybersecurity a year ago.

Is this just normal impostor syndrome? Does anyone feel truly *prepared* to go in-house? I have little to no experience advising on product and do mostly incident response, but this seems like a unicorn-level opportunity I can't pass up (great comp, role, and willing to hire me, a junior).

Any insight is deeply appreciated.

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling? Our retail division has one set of software for scheduling and one for payroll, and neither of them can handle predictive scheduling compliance issues unless they’re used for both the scheduling and payroll functions. I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.
