Do I Really Have to Accept That Nightmare Job Offer?

So, picture this: I just wrapped up my first interview for a remote graphic designer gig in Ohio. The pay seemed fair, but every answer from the interviewer was a flashing red flag. They want someone to juggle AI tools, Canva, copywriting, project management, and lead a major project—all at once! Oh, and the HR person? Turns out, they're also the art director, creative director, and designer. Multitasking much? They kept stressing how "scrappy" the team is and asked how I handle chaos—tight deadlines, constant changes, and barely any briefs. Honestly, coming from a big company with a structured team, this sounds like a recipe for burnout. Now, my big question: If I politely decline future interviews, does that count as refusing work and risk my benefits? Nothing was officially offered yet, so where does that leave me? Ever been in a spot where saying "no thanks" feels riskier than saying "yes"? Let me know if you've navigated this maze before! 🤔🚩 #JobHunting #CareerChoices #WorkplaceRedFlags #JobCareer
