Any advice on finding places like that? I'm going to be looking for jobs soon, and 50 hours per week is more or less my target. Anything more than that and I find my quality of work and life suffer pretty quickly.
When interviewing, I'm worried about
a)Seeming like a "slacker" for inquiring about expected hours. I want to convey that I don't mind working late for an urgent issue or close to release time, but that I can't sustain >50 hours
b)how do I know they're being honest with me about working conditions?
- smartician 13y agoThat's a valid concern. My suggestion would be this: Usually you're being interviewed in multiple rounds by multiple people. Absolutely don't ask an HR person about this, and probably don't ask your future manager. Ask an engineer after a technical interview. They'll probably (a) understand why you're asking and where you're coming from, and (b) or more likely to give an honest answer.
- jes5199 13y agomy experience is that places that have the 10+ hour days are the ones where they think that only "slackers" would ask about the work schedule. Places with sane hours think it's a reasonable question.
