I can't really agree with this; you claim interviews are two way but clearly imply the interviewee is completely at their mercy and should act like it. That's just not the way to act with anyone. Even if they want someone who's completely submissive and never speaks their mind, if you're not going to say yes they won't care that you treated them like gods.

The picture I was painting is what the interviewers likely thought of the situation. I didn't say it was categorically wrong, just that the interviewers might not feel the same way about this "two-way" nature of interviews.

@KeithS: this doesn't answer the question of whether it was rude or not. At best it explains the leads incredulity about the idea that he wouldn't be happy to work there. Which has a simpler explanation: the lead thinks it's a great place to work.

If the interviewers do not understand the rules of the gmame it is their problem. This is a business setting. I have reject interviews from the onset because I have had people who are bot willing to be flexible with the times of the interview, or do not want to say why they want to talk with me. I also have had in the past people who were very rude in interviews, when I was younger. People outght to understand also where shaving a couple of hours of an interview does come from; time is valuable. I am often thankful for people considerate to make the screening process via a phone call
