LPT Request: How to Make Sure a Job Will Stay Hybrid My current job went full time in office and it is killing me (between the commute and the office just being overall uncomfortable).

Is there anything I should look for in a job listing, ask in interviews, or reasonably…

Trying to decide if I should take job offer. Any insight? I currently make $33.21/hr ($69k annually) and just received an offer letter for a job at $37.72 ($78k annually).

I think $37/hr is closer to the market rate…

In order to be vested and get a payout, you need to work there for 5 years. I have already been there for a year. I cannot see myself working here until retirement, but it’s a fine job for now.
