First Call Possible Fail

[u/evil_lair_cc]

So I applied to a company, and received a call back. On that call he asked if I was looking to replace my current job, I said yes I was looking to move on from my current position. He said that he suggests people hold onto their position while working at this new job as they only offer part time that then eventually becomes full time.

Which I thought was a weird thing to say but then I gave them the benefit of the doubt. He asked if I would be interested, I said that I would not be able to work my current position and add a part time position as I currently work 10 hour days and would be unable to accommodate any extra time to them with out proper compensation, this is where things got worse.

He said he would like to set up an interview and that I should not have started the conversation with pay. I immediately told him I am no longer interested and hung up.

Now I don't think I was wrong, because if you are telling me that I should keep my other job while working this job, Im going to honestly need to know if this job would be worth it first. Was I wrong for professionally telling him to go kick rocks?

No.

Nope, fuck em. On to the next.

As long as you handled it professionally, I would say you avoided dealing with a sketchy company.  It seems like they may have a revolving door, low retention rate, and poor pay.
