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?
If the recruiter is worth bothering with, they’ll have no issue with you pulling out of a hiring process. Just explain your reasons and if those are valid, there should be no hard feelings. If they take it irrationally or try to pressure you, that’s a red flag.
agreed but its going to add to your possible flake score. I would if I was a recruiter. One time, good reason, and it would be all but unnoticable oa change but multiples or if your excuses seem just that then it will be noticable. When it comes down to it they want to mediate as good a deal all around as fast as possible. They will preference the best option which is not only going to be education and background but also likelyhood of completion. They will call you but after they call some others.
