Take the interview. Then if things change, recruiters (and creatives) will remember you.

I don’t take the interviews, it’s a waste of their time. I usually just refer someone else I know is looking, or tell them I’m happy.

Keep the line open for sure, for the future, but interviewing just to interview and turn them down can burn bridges.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.
