Red flag? Got emails from the company I’m interviewing with at 4:15 a.m. on a Tuesday. I’m doing a final-round simulated project for them and I think it’s been going well. But I’m worried it’s a deliberate test to see if I’ll cave to the pressure and respond immediately or wait until business hours. I waited. (I wasn’t even awake until 8:30.)

I’d see it as a potential yellow flag, not necessarily a red flag by itself. Some people send emails at odd hours because of their own schedule, time zone, or workload, but the real test is whether they expect you to respond immediately. I think waiting until normal business hours was the right move.

I don’t think it’s a total red flag. If the company recognizes that not everyone’s work hours are the same, it could be that someone else just happened to be on then and respond but doesn’t expect you to respond until normal business hours.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
