A firm im pretty interested in is super insistent on doing an in person interview during office hours. They want to do it towards the end of lunch hour. It's super inconvenient for me and will likely make me run late for other things and my partner has things going on at that hour where I need to be available. Not sure how to handle as this firm is dead set on an in person interview.

If they're unwilling to accommodate you on timing with a specific conflict, that's a huge red flag. We're lawyers and we have professional obligations that are sometimes inflexible. They should respect that.

Run. If this is how they are in the interview process they are going to be far worse to you as an employee.

I’m a little confused about the overall issue. If they’re insisting that it be on a particular day at a particular time without checking your availability, that’s a huge red flag. If they’re insisting on doing an in-person interview during business hours, but are generally flexible on when this occurs, I think that’s totally reasonable.

I appreciate it! I have multiple depositions next week that cannot be reset and have again offered to do the interview before 9am so I'll see what they say.

If you're just generally objecting to it being during business hours though, that's pretty typical and you'll probably have to take some time off.
