It really depends on the position and how much OT is available. Also have to consider benefits - some places give salaried employees benefits immediately while hourly has to wait a year or more before they're even eligible. I've always been salaried and it's worked fine for me, but I'm also not expected to put in 20+ hours of unpaid OT each week. I'd probably feel differently if that was the case.
Pro
I prefer a salaried position for the stability it offers. Overtime can be a bit complicated, but it’s still my choice.
I agree with this so long as OT is a choice. At my hospital they want to make you salaried and expect you to work 60 hours a week with no OT pay. That doesn't fly with me.
I prefer salaried, but I am also very comfortable setting boundaries and sticking to them when it comes to my hours. There is a stability that comes with being a salaried employee that is extremely important in a job market as unpredictable as this one.
