Endless interview rounds? Who’s fault is it that there were endless interviews? It certainly isn’t the person applying for the job. Maybe don’t be a fuckhead and make up your mind about someone without subjecting their livelihood to multiple interviews to figure out if you want them or not. God, these employers need to fuck off.

That sound like a fun idea.
Is it illegal to use a fake name for such interviews, or rather - can it get you prosecuted, i.e if the company would get really salty and sued you for their incurred manpower? As long as you don’t submit any fake legal documents, just sending a fake CV with fake name and creds, maybe going to an interview or two, only to bail out before providing anything legally binding, is it a persecutable crime?

If companies can catfish prospective employees, then interviewees can catfish prospective employers.
That being said, the law almost always stands on the side of corporations.

What do you think? Why not do it under your real name? No harm in interviewing with a company, getting to the final round… Some higher up VP or exec, and then telling them that you could do their job better than them cause you aren’t a soulless ghoul like them. Be careful they might be into that dominating kinky shit & offer you an exec position.

What?! You don’t provide an SSN until your are hired, full stop. If you’re giving it out before that time, you’re being scammed.

Wherever you applied and had to do that, you got scammed, bro.

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.
