in salaried positions in the us, you will never get overtime pay.

  This is a misunderstanding. Whether one is entitled to overtime or not depends on whether they are exempt or non exempt, not if they are hourly or salary. However, generally salaried positions won't be paid overtime because everyone thinks they [all] are exempt or should be, even though they may be incorrectly classified as such. A side note: there is one situation where you can have hourly exempt (meaning you are paid for how worked but not at 1.5 times hourly rate) which is "computer professionals" classification. Very few folks, even in HR, know this. Partly because just about 100% "computer professional" jobs are paid salary instead of hourly.
