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.

    I mean the co owner is legit, and I can’t find anything bad about the company online.

    The application requires an email and asks what country I live in. I haven’t gotten to any scam part yet, but it’s weird how she hasn’t replied to my message in almost an hour despite saying I need to apply quickly. Does that mean she’s over it and I shouldn’t apply?

      People have meetings which might be longer than an hour. If she’s presenting something, it might be a bit weird if she told her audience that she needs to answer a message.

          People have meetings that are longer than two hours, or one meeting ends and the next starts immediately. If you want to apply then do it.
