‘An extreme waste of time’: Job candidate refuses to continue excessive hiring process after being forced to do 7 rounds of interviews for over 5 months

When someone is looking for a job, there is no telling how far they are willing to go to secure one. You very rarely hear of someone who simply walks away from a potential job, so when someone does, they must have a good reason.

It takes a lot of strength to identify red flags at a workplace you're trying to get hired for, and it takes even more strength to recognise it might not be the best place for you. But once you do walk away from it, you know you made the right choice. It is much easier to walk away from a toxic workplace you haven't really gotten involved with.

So, what are the red flags one should pay attention to when interviewing for a job? Well, if we're being completely honest, there are probably too many to count, but the story below presents one you should definitely keep your eyes out for, especially since it makes the idea of walking away from the job a lot harder.
