Are there any big consequences apart from some annoyed reception manager if I pull reconsider the work and pull out of the planned interview?

I’ve went through the pre screening talk, but some details didn’t sit right with me as none of it was openly laid out in the work posting.

I’d already accepted an interview time out of impulsiveness, I’m planning to duck out of it next week since the interview is much later.

TLDR - Is it fine to do this without any actual consequences?

    The only consequences would be reputational. Don’t wait until the interview itself, let them know now that you will not be available for the interview.

    Hey company, it was great speaking to you last week, I’m afraid I’m not able to move forward at this time, and I need to cancel our in-person interview for next week.

      Definitely cancel over just not showing up, preferably before the day of the interview. Circumstances may change, new positions may open up, you don’t owe them anything but you want to keep things amicable in case you are interested in the future.

      Agreed. Ghosting is dumb and unprofessional. Just drop them a quick polite note and everything should be fine.
