If you leave after 2 weeks or whatever, just tell 'em it wasn't a good fit or didn't fall in line with what you though you'd be doing. couple years ago we had a guy get hired and quit on the first day, didn't even bother with the two weeks i was one of the people who interviewed him, i was kind of 'well ok' on hiring but he indicated he knew and was friends with one of the other employees so i figured it would be fine and he probably just does interviews poorly, afterwards i checked with the person and they were 'what no i have no idea who that person was' so idk

Arcsech posted:look, unless you literally start calling your interviewer racial slurs the worst thing that happens is you flunk the hell out of the interview, get rejected, and everyone involved forgets about it in less than a week. especially since you aren’t serious yet, gently caress it, why be nervous about anything? update: phone screen went great, then went back to current job chat room and im being yelled at for a segfault that i dont think is mine, gonna take that xanax anyway

getting deep in the process at a place, they seem to like me and it sounds like interesting enough work (software metrics) plus they have customers, odds are ill get a salary cut b/c it'll be going from remote-to-sv to remote-to-baltimore but unless it's nuts it'll be worth it (i made a mistake not taking a huge paycut and switching jobs a few years ago, i shoulddn't have let the money have been worth it)

i broke down and did the triplebyte thing, have had two phone screens so far and declined a third (not a good sign when ones adblock blocks their company site) just got off phone with second one, i think i must have mis-read their description or something, guy was nice and the company's growing fast but idk if i want to do the work (that's even without getting into their stack (node.js + getting into golang) or that he was all 'oh remote's fine, our other remote people just come in for a week or so once a month') god i hate trying to find a job remotely i just want to cry
