For the job, I got a message about an in person assessment to test competency for 1.5 hours on Monday the 4th around 10am.
My current job had said to me that at the first few working days of each month are very busy, sending dividends to investors and processing payments etc.
I asked if it was possible to reschedule the city of Vancouver assessment to Thursday afternoon or Friday afternoon but I was told they will only have the assessment on Monday, I said to let me know if that changes.
My job now pays lower than I was on in Dublin by about 15-20% but for a good while it was looking like I'd be starting work at a 10-15k lower rate here. I don't want to risk being unreliable (calling in sick) on the only days that are busy at work and losing the role and back to square one.
If the city comes back with Thursday afternoon or Friday or the following week or if the BC security commission come back looking to interview I will take advantage of the opportunity.
