It is absolutely unreasonable to expect a team to work on weekends unless it has been previously agreed to. It kind of sounds to me like you need to go to bat for your team here. I've worked at a ...

I think you might kind of be screwed on this one. Once you give a number you're establishing a base line for negotiation. It would be somewhat.... uncouth to come back after giving a base line and ask ...

I would say not all startups, but definitely a lot of them are like that. I actually stopped working at early stage startups completely for this exact reason. I'd do what you can to not screw over the ...

Your friends sound... ill informed. It's actually a common practice to list things like this. Ever heard the phrase "Equal opportunity employer"? That's this. There's nothing offensive about it. I ...

I never ever add a position to my resume at least until my first day on the job. Until you have actually started, it's never a sure thing (even after you start it's not necessarily a sure thing. One ...
