> Getting jobs as a US based employee with several years experience isn't too difficult.

I'm not based on the US unfortunately, so I tend to ignore those job posts..

> I'm looking for low meeting culture jobs that fit my current schedule.

How do you know in advance if a job has that low meeting culture? Do you read glassdoor reviews, or something like that?

> Dysfunctional companies (there are so many) are great for me in this setup.

And how do you identify those dysfunctional companies as well? Or you try them and get out if they are not so dysfunctional for your like?

Hope you don't mind my questions, just trying to learn a little bit more about the "game"!

I'll like to another comment I made in this thread but I'll add on here as well. I try to find out as much as I can about the meeting culture in the interview. If it ends up being drastically different to the point where I feel like I was lied to, then I'll leave the job.

I'm not solely trying to find dysfunctional companies per se, but it does help if they are dysfunctional. Yeah, I have no problem leaving a company after a few months if I dislike their culture or theres no much work.
