I've been asked back to a company where I didn't like the culture or coworkers. It's probably my only shot at a dream role, though, plus I'd be mostly remote. They're also offering much more money than other jobs. I'm really conflicted. Is there a dollar amount that would make going back to a company you disliked worth it?

Does being remote help with that culture and coworkers? I would honestly consider it, just depends on how bad it was. If it were something I could use to get myself where I want to be, then yes. If I know that I couldn’t make it that far because of all the things I disliked, then no.

Thanks for sharing

If it's a dream role and it's mostly remote, the culture or coworkers probably won't make that much impact. However, I'm not sure how a company you dislike could look like a dream job. If there's some substantive issue with the place maybe it's best to just put it entirely in the rear-view mirror.

More money and never having to see or interact with the people and culture that you don't like? Sounds like a win–win. And for me, there is definitely a dollar amount that would drag me back to a company I didn't like, lol.

Thanks for sharing

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

How do I get a job as a Mechanical Engineer if I dont have experience?

I couldn’t get an internship while in school. I have a BS in ME and projects from school under my belt. I’ve also passed the FE exam.
