I had a first interview yesterday afternoon, and I was offered the job on the spot. I said yes since I was caught up in the moment. Now that I've had time to calm down and think about it, I'm starting to worry that being hired that quickly wasn't a good sign. Is this a red flag or am I just overthinking things?

I think you’re overthinking things and unless you’re sure you can easily secure another job elsewhere, I would take what’s in front of me! The job market is crazy so not really the time to be too selective!

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Tech

Hey, another question for y’all. How should I reach out to a recruiter who offered me a full time position but I rejected for a better offer? At the time I was offered the position my main concern was lack of guidance/support from leadership. Now, a year later I have experience being in a role with limited over site (not as scary as I initially thought it would be) and feel confident I would excel in the role I rejected. How would you approach this situation? Thanks in advance!!
