🚩What's one major red flag that can pop up during the interview process that turns you off from an employer?

When you can tell they are being fake

When the panel doesn't want to discuss why the position is open. You know something fishy is going on.

If there are lot's of similar open positions in the same district or at the same building. If they can't seem to get a teacher to stay in the position that you're interviewing for.
My personal pet peeve, an expectation to volunteer a lot of time in addition to your working hours.

The reality is that sometimes you have to take a job even though you know it's not going to be a good one. If you're fresh out of school or there isn't many jobs available then you just gotta do whatever's necessary.

The only interview I ever walked out on, they straight up asked me what I thought about unpaid overtime.

smart

In one school which rhymes with "Bedford" I drive 6 hours to get there, I see a thick stack of papers I'm thinking its students handbooks to be handed out, nope. When I tell the interviewer my name she reaches to the top of this two foot thick stack of papers and pulls out my Resume and begins the interview.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
