Late night interview..

I've talked to recruiters/managers from Europe few times before and we always managed to set up meetings to accommodate both time zones and still have reasonable time frames. One of my latest interviews has been scheduled for 11.30 pm!.. as it was the earliest time the manager was available..or other option would be 5 am.. I've asked the manager if she can be more flexible and meet with me earlier (at least 9 pm or 7 am - still out of normal schedule but okay). She told me that her schedule is full and this is the only time she is available..

I don't think its a good sign -it tells me that in case they hire me, they'll expect me to be available 24/7?

Still not sure if I should give it a try or don't waste my time and energy here..

Any advice?

Make an exception for the interview then determine if it's a waste of your time.
I am a fan of making informed decisions and not jumping to hasty decisions based of assumptions of the worst.
So what does it cost you other than a few hours of sleep?

Go on the interview. If offered, have a separate meeting to ask questions about work schedules. Mgr might be flexible.
