Sure, I've just found that it can be helpful to clarify intent is all, especially when you're dealing with someone you've just met - e.g. maybe the interviewer is mostly reasonable, but is scarred from past negative experiences with colleagues who were legitimately lazy. This phrasing might help such a person understand where you're coming from a bit more easily.
- Cyph0n 5y agoIf you need to clarify intent for something as fundamental as work/life balance, wouldn’t that be (at best) a yellow flag?
- redisman 5y agoThis needs to not be a taboo. It’s very important how many days I get off, how many hours I’m expected to work and if I’m expected to work nights and weekends. Those are like my top 3 concerns, I don’t really care about your snacks or vision or stack to be honest.
- lazide 5y agoBut they do care about those things - a lot. And since being employed requires both parties are happy with the deal, it is something worth considering that obviously not caring about the things they care about could cause them concern. It goes both ways of course - them not caring about your well-being is obviously just a big a red flag for a candidate.
