But would I trust you with my financial paperwork if you missed that I already answered this question?

I've also noticed a disturbing trend with pseudo on-call availability, even on the weekends, labelled as "flexible working hours".

Then there's always the "unlimited time off, we trust you".

Sure, but if something happens and I can't actually keep making that much money, there's no going back to the initial state.

It's a good idea, if the salary talk is after I've had a chance to prove I have value.

But a lot of times there's actually a specific field in the application form with "expected compensation".
