I got a message on LinkedIn about a job, it seems legit. The issue is as soon as I replied, she basically told me to apply as quickly as possible because it’s time sensitive.

I don’t know why this kind of rubs me the wrong way, I guess because I’m in a different time zone and I’m expected to literally drop everything for a job I might not even have an actual chance for.

Also she is the person who I would be working with, my potential future boss, and also the co owner of the company.

Am I overreacting? It just seems unnecessarily stressful idk. Also I’m very afraid of red flags now cause I ignored them at my last company and it was a nightmare.

Edit: I responded and asked some basic questions about the timezone/hours, and if applying in the next few hours would be ok, and she hasn’t responded in over an hour. Now I’m wondering if I should even bother applying :/

    Thanks for much for the advice!! She is basically trolling me at this point. I have (almost) no doubt it’s a legit company, they’re just complete pieces of shit. I guess if they weren’t they wouldn’t be separate double texting me then ignoring me for days lmao

    I hope to god I can one day find a work environment that isn’t total garbage… not sure what fields that’s even possible in though. Even if the majority is good seems there’s always one bad apple that likes to stir shit up anyways.
