A recruiter at a tech company reached out to me.
I'm not sure I want to leave my firm now and I'm not sure I'd want to join the new company. But I'm intrigued. Is it worth sending an application and going through the process to explore the company and maybe see the kind of offer I get?
Or, might I be blackballed if I turn them down because I decide later that now's not the right time?

U can always explore ur worth in the market and back off. Doesn’t hurt going for it.

If it sounds interesting always explore the opportunity. You never know. Also, it’s good practice. See what’s out there and what skills companies are looking for.

Give it a shot!

I’d explore it. If it’s not a great fit or right time, just be respectful to them in your communications and you won’t burn any bridges.
