Is this employer being unreasonable?

Hello, first post!

I've just graduated and am a few weeks into the job search, working with a recruiter who has been arranging my interviews etc, as well as applying for some independently.

I had an interview on Friday for a company who want to bring me back in on Monday for a final stage interview. However, they want me to start full time the following day. At the moment, they aren't offering any flexibility on the start date. I liked the company, they seemed like genuinely nice people and the work should be interesting, but I'm really not sure about this for a number of reasons. I also have other final stage interviews I'm due to attend that week, for jobs that I would prefer, which I would really like to know the outcome for before I make a decision. The work is commission based and the money that they are claiming that I could make is significantly more (around £20k) more than other places, which makes me really sceptical. I'm also not sure why they haven't already filled the position if they wanted someone to start on Tuesday!

That being said, I obviously wouldn't want to turn down a potentially good opportunity, and I know how difficult the job market is at the moment. This is also my first 'proper' job so I'm not really sure if this is standard practice or not.

This was not well written at all but any insight would be very helpful! Thanks!

We're just moving this out of gardening and over to AIBU at the OP's request. Flowers
