I've gotten offered a job on the first interview and I worked there for a while. Then again, that was not in my field of IT and was a part-time job with a well-known company, alongside studies. So while it can be a red flag, it's not always. Depends on the situation. Just stay vigilant.

Yup. Sometimes it'll work out, just look for the big red flags.

A good job won't expect you to do anything other than show up to interviews and orientation.
