No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This, so much, this.
I've done many interviews on the hiring side. They're exhausting. If you're not interested in the job, please don't interview. No repercussions will be had and any (introverted) ICs that were going to be pulled into the interview will breath a sigh of relief.
not completely true. if going through a recruiter it will be a bit of bridge burning. They don't like to tell their client a prospect they found is no longer interested and it will effect what they send you in future. Its really not that bad though as mostly its a personal thing and they are business people and will get over it and do whats best for business. That is if your skills are in demand enough. The more you do it with a particular recruiter (not sure why it would be something that happens a lot) the less confidence they will have in putting you forward as a prospect.
You're probably right on the grand scheme of things. However, I find recruiters are a dime a dozen. When job postings in my area that match my skill set are posted, I get 5-6 recruiters messaging me for the same job. So, at least for me, I wouldn't worry about burning bridges with a single recruiter.
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.
