I got a message on LinkedIn about a job, it seems legit. The issue is as soon as I replied, she basically told me to apply as quickly as possible because it's time sensitive.

I don't know why this kind of rubs me the wrong way, I guess because I'm in a different time zone and I'm expected to literally drop everything for a job I might not even have an actual chance for.

Also she is the person who I would be working with, my potential future boss, and also the co owner of the company.

Am I overreacting? It just seems unnecessarily stressful idk. Also I'm very afraid of red flags now cause I ignored them at my last company and it was a nightmare.

Edit: I responded and asked some basic questions about the timezone/hours, and if applying in the next few hours would be ok, and she hasn't responded in over an hour. Now I'm wondering if I should even bother applying :/

    Yepppppp.. she just added me on Facebook a few hours ago, I accepted immediately and she didn't say anything 💀

    Seems she's literally trolling or insane or all of the above. Wtf is wrong with people I feel like I should block her. Tbh she just looks like an evil person

    Why is she adding you as a FB friend? Isn't this work-related? I might not have accepted the request if I were you, but since you did, you may as well message her on there and ask what the next steps are.
