Would you be wary if potential employer brings up “high stress” in the interview

Multiple times?they basically said their clients bitch about them all the time to upper relationship management and that’s just SOP.

If it is wearisome to hear that, you probably don't want the high stress of the job.

I've never found a job that pays worth a damn that doesn't also come with high levels of stress, long hours, or both. In fact, I've worked more than my fair share of jobs that had long hours, high stress, and didn't pay worth a shite either!

Sounds like you won’t be able to take many naps. I’d be wary of being weary if I were you.

I harp on the fast paced, high stress nature of the job throughout interviews. I want to weed out the weary and wary.

To me, high stress means work days that fly by.

And an employer who had better be understanding if I take four day weekend a while cranking out 60 hour weeks.

Probably has a high wash out rate. Doesn't want someone attracted to the money without fair warning as to why the money is where it is.

The first thing I do with a new hire is make sure they understand the risk they are entrusted with and the faith that everyone has to have in them.

Yeah stress is fine, but everything else has to make up for it. You need to be able to get away and if you can’t get away the pay better be amazing.

You also gotta look the interviewer in the face and figure out what kind of person they are. They may just suck at handling high strain situations.

This would be dealing with more high end institutional clients. Basically getting their specific information in their requested format to them in early enough they can act on it.

They said their clients were generally not satisfied with the work this team provided but basically said it was because the clients are always like that.

I’ve worked on clients who had similar reputation, but not in a client facing role and not near as bad as this sounds.
