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?
It’s a normal part of the game. You need to accept the employer and employer needs to accept you.
It’s nicer to call them hey, I’m going to cancel as I am no longer interested but you could totally come to test the water and get interviews experience. Or even within 10 minutes raise a blocking point and leave.
Once I interviewed someone who was a great fit for the company, but not for that specific position, we kept it short, and I complained afterward to the HR who made both of us loose time. I hope that person is doing well
