Comment on Gen Z reveals the surprising reasons they are career catfishing—ghosting a new boss after endless interview rounds: Nearly a quarter say it was a dare

I ghosted a recruiter partly out of fear of getting the job because it was overseas and it got too real and raised doubt. I’m still trying to figure out if I’m willing to leave my present life behind or not.

Do it! Best decision I ever made.

Unless by “overseas” you mean “to the US of some other oppressive country”. In that case maybe don’t do it.

  I just spent thirty minutes running down the whole thing with my therapist. Basically, I think I’m choosing between being lonely (depressed) or angry if I stay. Sure, I’ll make friends, but I’ll be leaving behind a hell of a circle of people who I love with friendships covering many years, so it won’t be the same. I also have to leave my partner behind as she’s a refugee in this country and can’t travel abroad as a result. It’s tough, y’know.
  
  Thanks for the encouragement.
