Benefits That Seem Generous — but Murky
“Unlimited vacation” can sound great until you realize no one actually takes time off. “Flexible hours” might mean you’re expected to be online at all hours. Clarity beats catchphrases every time.
Trust Your Gut (and the Follow-Up)
After the interview, notice how communication feels. Do they reply promptly, or go silent for weeks? Do you feel excited — or uneasy? Your instincts often pick up on red flags logic can’t explain.
Summary
A dream job should feel exciting and grounded. If something feels off, ask questions — or walk away. The right role won’t just look good on paper; it’ll feel good in practice.
