You can't really negotiate on expected working hours, because the minute that comes up you will be off the list of prospects at most places. Salary is out there

You can't really negotiate on expected working hours, because the minute that comes up you will be off the list of prospects at most places. Salary is out there in the open and can be talked about, but the idea that you might not want to work 50 hours? Not so much.
- alkonaut 12y agoI'm not working in the US but I'd definitely not take a job at any salary without knowing the office culture, overtime trends etc. I'd simply be very up front with that I'm not about to work more than 40h on average, and that the compensation is exactly for that. When I recruit people, I fully expect them to have the same idea. If this makes me less eligible for the position then that's all the better: I wasn't interested anyway.
