You can’t trust what they say in the interview—you should still buy a one-way ticket. I initially bought a high-speed rail ticket north for the interview. All I remember is the interviewer smiling from ear to ear and making the company sound amazing, saying it had flexible hours and a free, open team atmosphere. But I hit red flags on my third day at work. I had to spend all day reading minds to guess what the boss was thinking, filling in three times as much detail as was actually given in every instruction, and periodically helping with miscellaneous tasks completely unrelated to my actual job.

A small project had clearly written specifications, but my manager insisted that I force in a cheap substitute, saying, “It’s close enough—the client won’t notice.” The demo blew up on the spot, and the boss still blamed me for not testing it properly. Most outrageously, he liked holding meetings and tossing out feature requests after work. His catchphrase was “Could you take care of this?”—but what he really meant was “Finish it immediately.”

In the end, I lasted only two weeks. I decided to walk out before I had even used up my high-speed rail return ticket. Looking back now, I should have known from the start: this place wasn’t worth coming to twice.
