Oh jeez, a soul-crushing job. She shoulda taken it and toughen up just like everyone else.
A job interview shouldn't just be about the candidate, but also about the candidate checking out if the job is actually the right fit for them. If it's not because the people are a bunch of red flags, aren't they toughening up by actually having the guts to say no?
Also imo it wouldve been very short sighted to take that job. It would've drained your sanity and ended up in poor job performance or a resignation - which wouldn't look good on your cv. A clear mark of why just working hard doesn't cut it, you have to work smart even if it means rejecting a job offer. Otherwise you're not really going to get far in the career ladder.
