Was it worth it? How'd they keep their commitment to no calls/meetings? I'd be worried about the employer reneging on that.

- paulcole 3y agoWhen I negotiate with someone on something like this, I make it (relatively) painful for the company to break the rule. Full day pay bonus if we text/call someone on a non-scheduled work day, no matter how trivial the issue and no matter if they pick up or reply. So we don’t get a guarantee that the issue is resolved and they’re not obligated to help (if they do, they also get paid for working that day, obviously).
- hombre_fatal 3y agoIt wasn't an agreement. It was just how they operated. It was worth it at the time. But I'm back in the States looking for work after years abroad and can feel the pressure of having a less impressive resume, no big names on my resume, and no US network. Sometimes I look around at people my age who own property and make six figures and I feel so underachieved. But then I consider how miserable I was working in Austin before I went abroad and I can't think of a better way to have spent my 20s (for me).
