So, I had an interview today for a position I was really excited about. The job description seemed great, the pay was decent, and the company had good reviews. I walked in, shook hands with the hiring manager, and we sat down.
Then, the first question came:
*"How do you handle working unpaid overtime?"*
I literally laughed, thinking it was a joke. But the interviewer just stared at me, waiting for an answer. I asked if overtime was mandatory and if it was paid. They said, *“Well, we expect employees to stay as long as needed to get the job done. Everyone here is passionate about the work, and we don’t track extra hours.”*
I just stood up, said, *“Thank you for your time, but this isn’t the right fit for me,”* and walked out.
Now, I’m second-guessing myself. Should I have stayed and at least heard more about the job? Or was walking out the right move?
