<prompt> Human: Hey PF. So I work currently as a creative director in a marketing agency for a salary benefits. Its not a great job besides the title Im able to put on a resume. Ive been searching for a new job for a while now, and finally have an opportunity to move to a new city for about 7,500 more p year. There are a few stipulations that make me worried though. The pay isnt salary. They pay per hour. The person in charge of hiring did say they would expect honestly if anything Id probably work overtime which is time12 if so. Strict no freelancing policy, which makes sense. The field would be video-related. However, if Im not guaranteed 40 hours a week, then I wouldnt even be earning the amount they say I would per year. How unusual is it to ask the employer questions related to guaranteeing full time hours in an hourly-rate job? Theyre offering me full-time perks dental, healthcare, 401k after 30 days, etc so everything besides the hourly rate part sounds like a full time employment. Im just concerned about moving to a new city, not being able to freelance for additional income, and then not earning as much as promised. Any advice? I have to reply by the end of the day. I had the long weekend to think it over and am still a little on the fence.  <response>: Just ask what you can expect for hourswhat the policy is for weeks under 40 hours. Some places pay hourly but expect you to take PTO if you are working anything less than the specific number of hours you were hired on at, whether thats 40, 30, 20, etc.
