When interviewing for new roles, what’s a major red flag you look out for? If there’s no clear direction around what I’ll be doing, and an expectation of hustle culture with crazy hours, I’m extremely hesitant. Anyone else have other red flags?

When you are quickly offered a position with no opportunity to shadow the role prior (if you are newer to the type of role work job prior experience). Screams turnover issue to me.

Great point! Thanks for sharing.

I got an offer after just one interview. The process was quick. It was a very legit company but the location that was hiring was a bit of a crap show. Moving too quick through the process is a red flag to me now.

Great point! Screams they’re understaffed and desperate

For me, a big red flag is when they can’t clearly explain what success looks like in the role. If the responsibilities are vague but the expectations sound intense, that usually tells me the job may be messy or under-resourced.

So accurate! Great point.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].
