So, my niece works in sales and we were having dinner. It was the end of her work day or so she thought. A call came in from a client demanding service due to missing items. This may me wonder if she is compensated for this on-call time.

What would you have done in this situation? Would it be different if you knew that you were paid for the extra time?

I know people who work in sales and things like that will happen to them. They just seem to accept it as something that goes with the territory. I imagine if it happened often enough it would be a problem that would have to be dealt with. It's part of the curse of modern life, because of our phones we can wind up tethered to work.

That is very true and there's a power button that can be used!

I highly doubt she is compensated for it. I have been in jobs like that before. I wouldn't hate answered the phone because it likely wasn't life or death, and boundaries are important.

That was my thought as well - expected, but not compensated.

I have many options to consider but two options below are what I’m thinking of right now.

I want to see your thoughts on which one I should pick.

Job A: Project Engineer. 135K/yr base. 10% signing bonus.

Job B: Senior Project Manager. Contract. $60/hr standard. $90/hr overtime.

Additional Information added / pinned in the comments.

As a junior, how do you deal with the anxiety that the advice you provide to a partner based on your research (that is being sent to client without much supervision) could be wrong or incomplete?
