Nice british guy met for coffee in the morning. Was going fine; nice casual conversation. I was semi-interested until he dropped the bomb. Mandatory office hours of 8am-7pm M-F. Are you effin' kidding? This is the SF Bay Area. Thousands of firms and independent recruiters. We all know how to play this game. You're telling me I have to essentially wake up at the crack of dawn to commute to work and get home in time for bed at night. That is a straight up 11 hour day, mandatory. For a job that only requires a phone and computer with internet. Give me a break. Nothing magical about your firm to have that kind of rule.
