I see in this thread you all talk about negative experiences, things you wish you knew before starting the job, etc. Maybe you all can help me, what can an…

Ok the last two year have been hell: 1. No steady job 2. Temp jobs with no benefits 3. Lower salary 4. Last 10 months 100 mile round trip commute (hybrid 2-3 x week) temp assignment which is very vague when it’s going away (comp is fine for the commute- I’m in accounting). So I’ve been looking for something close to home permanent and with benefits for months 5. Today i get an email for an interview that job order is on hold 6. Last week got an email after a first interview “thank you but we’ve moved on” 7. July-Aug w/one company went the full interview rounds then got ghosted. 6 weeks later “oh sorry,not interested”. 8. Aug – went through the full interview process. I disclosed my salary requirements up front as it was over their budget & they continued interviewing me. They were in a mad rush…
