If you need to clarify intent for something as fundamental as work/life balance, wouldn’t that be (at best) a yellow flag?


This 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.


But 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.
