My pet peeve these days is the recruiter from MNC prefer to use WhatsApp than email for correspondence. Don’t know why but it’s just not my preference.

Mean u r 3rd or 4th choice in their list

5pm nothing wrong what.

6pm then I start to worry

7pm is a sign

8pm is Konfirm red flag...

9pm jitao reject unless interviewer is from another timezone..
You never encountered before? Once started working, boss will:

Call for team meeting at 5pm on a Friday. Talk a lot until 6pm, then give work tasks assignment say it is due next Monday before 12noon.

What does it mean? Simply, unspoken but you will need to work during weekend to complete work tasks.

He bothered to ask right?
I bet u can suggest later dates too.
Asumptions made since ts not giving all details.
And he jus wanna squeeze u in, If available.

as topic....

edit: interviewer is local. reason given he's travelling.

Not accepting evening interviews is red flag. Means the candidate is only interested in knocking off at 5pm.

I get hr to set interviews from 4pm. Reason being clear bulk of the work first.

Plus it's towards end of the day, mood better and interviewing is less taxing unless the candidate piss me off.
