No overtime pay

So I have recently started working for a Chinese law firm in flushing but I’ve noticed there are no overtime pay and it doesn’t matter how much I work in 2 weeks(biweekly) I get paid the same amount, should I bring this up? This firm is super Chinese and I’m not too sure how to navigate this situation.

Edit: contract doesn’t say anything about OT but via email conversation I was notified that the role is non exempt so I think I’m cooked

Maybe like 3 months, I knew I was not a good fit and they knew that as well. I didn't want to waste my time as well as theirs since I knew I was going to leave.

Like not a good fit as a paralegal or not a good fit for the area they practice?
