I got invited to schedule an interview for a position that I applied for a few weeks ago. At the time, I thought it sounded like a good idea but now I'm uneasy about taking the position. Should I interview anyway? Or would it just be a waste of time? I guess there's no guarantee I'll even get the job right?

You might as well go to the interview. Perhaps when you get talking to the interviewer you'll realize the job really is a good idea. Or, if you're not impressed by the job, you might learn something from the experience that will help you in the next interview.

Well said. Okay I think you convinced me to at least try.

I would identify why you feel uneasy. Because if it's role scope or comp, those may be things you get more information on that may quell anxieties

like

I think its more comp related. My company is notorious for underpaying.

Why are you second guessing? I'd take the interview, even if I did have misgivings. No guarantee you'll get an offer, nothing forcing you to accept it if you do, nothing to lose.

like

Good point. I guess I was just feeling sure I'd get the offer but there's no guarantees lol

You could always use it to negotiate better offer at current company

Interview anyway as you dont even know if you will get the job.
