benefits and bonus the same? I'd do hourly even if exempt to avoid working free weekends.

This was the first introductory call. Standard benefits as to what I have now, and I haven't gotten deep enough to ask about bonuses.

I've been salary for 12 years now, so it's all I really know. Most jobs I see in this pay range are not generally hourly unless the work is contract work. I have worked 70 hour work weeks, and I've had 30 hour work weeks, and gotten paid the same. If the pay is based on hourly, I don't care if I work 30 hours or 70 hours, but I don't want to face a situation where I get less than say 30 hours a week. Not sure how I vet that out. You can ask, but the answer they give may or may not reflect reality.
