The firm proposed Friday afternoon for a two-hour interview. Is that a bad time? Would it be better to ask for a slot in the middle of the week? I mentioned that I’m flexible, but I didn’t expect the interview to be scheduled for a Friday afternoon.

You’re overthinking it. If you’re available take the available slot that was offered.

People tend to have fewer standing meetings on Fridays so it makes it easier to find a 2 he chunk of time to do the interview. I wouldn’t read into it

Exactly this.

Firms like to make offers on Fridays. They might be hopeful they can get quick feedback and present an offer same day.

Really?

Thank you, all. Hope you have a wondering weekend.
