If you interviewed someone at your firm and they request you on LinkedIn despite being rejected, do you accept? He was a nice kid but the team had some concerns, I dont know if it's more awkward to accept or decline at this point 😅

Hey guys,

I really need your help.

I recently got a good opportunity in one of the Mncs to work but i was worried as i had absconded from one of the companies just after 2 months of working there due to mental torture.
