When do you ask details of the hybrid arrangements?

Very interested in a role that’s an hour and 15 from my residence. I think that’s doable a few times a week. Position is advertised as “hybrid,” but no one has mentioned what that entails. I’m hoping they’re flexible, but I’m hesitant to bring it up until post offer, since I don’t want that to be a barrier to an offer, but I am curious others thoughts.

IME, you don't ask until you get the offer. At that point, they want you and are willing to give on a few points to make it happen.

Most recruiters will give you any in-office requirements up front during the screener. If it's a large company, I would not expect them to have any flexibility.

The RTO policy is going to be company wide, don’t expect Legal to be exempt. But…. If team members are commuting from a distance and/or have younger children I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s an unspoken agreement permitting fewer days in office and/or late arrival early departure

Agree with most of the above. You can ask the screener about it, they should be able to tell you if hybrid is 2,3 or 4 days. And even then, a lot will depend on your manager and team and the office culture. My current job is 3 days but no one cares about the actual hours so people come and go at all times and it’s not a big deal to work from home sometimes or cut out early for “appointments.”

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
