It's Facebook. Go for it buddy. How can you be so sure that you'll get the job? Appear for the interview, at least.

Do it! You might surprise yourself.

What happens if I decide to take a full scope or be willing but after I join the company or project I get cold feet and decide not to? Do I just get let go or have dire consequences? I am being pushed by recruiter to get a FS but I am not sure. The backlog is huge though so maybe I throw the dice and learn a lot then leave before I need to if at that point I am not 100% in it?

Thanks
