Is secondment provided to newly hired managers?
Guys, a query from me - got an offer from a reputed renewable industry company so wanted to know if I'll be going downhill or uphill in my career. Note: Position is in Europe, naturally way better money than India, and its an ex client wanting me to join them. He is keen to get me in.

4 hours of my time without asking me if I’m available is a no-go. Unless I’m desperate for the job, I’d pass it along or see if they can reschedule based on the principle of it.

I agree with that boundary. I would still respond professionally, but I would ask to reschedule based on my availability. Respect for time matters early on.
A four-hour interview seems a bit intense, to be honest with you. I would see that as a big red flag. I don't know any company that schedules interviews without asking for availability first.

I see it as a red flag too. I pay close attention to how companies handle small things like scheduling because it often reflects their wider culture.

I have thought the same in situations like this. Sometimes it feels more about ticking a box than genuinely valuing the candidate’s time.

I have seen this happen and it does feel off. I would still attend if interested, but I would note it as a signal of how they might handle communication internally.
