I’ve applied to a few jobs out of state. One asks if I’d be willing to go into their office for an interview (on my expense). Is it appropriate if I asked what the salary was before agreeing? The post doesn’t say. Or should I just avoid this altogether?

That is very appropriate to ask. Don't even waste your time if it doesn't meet your expectations, especially if they want you to spend your money on an interview smh

I think they should be more concerned about wasting your time and losing you. You got an interview for a reason and have more power than you know!

You should. It'll help you not waste each others time if the pay is too low.

Thanks!

They're just trying to see if your willing to risk your own cash incase u may not like what u hear after the interview and want to leave

How is it working for Amerprise? I applied for a role out of the Charlotte office

Every department handles things differently. I love my boss and coworkers, for the most part. Benefits are awesome. Training is not great. But that depends on each department. The Charlotte location is new - I really have no idea how they work. But - Best of luck!

I would definitely inquire about the salary before agreeing to that interview, under those circumstances.

I am working from EU since last year (internal transfer from India), also doing freelancing for an another startup since last 2 years and the payment is going to Indian account.
My employer assigned a tax consulting company in India to support me in filing tax, somehow the tax consulting firm found that bank account via AIS document (not sure how they get it in that doc), as they found some interest credited for that saving account. Will I be in trouble? will I have to pay penalty :(?

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
