No doubt, fully agree with you! I'm only proposing to keep an open mind, because you never really know until you connect with the people.

I used to say so many nevers, "I'll never work for X, fuck them!", etc. As I've gotten older, I regret this manner of thinking my young self did. Always better to keep an open mind while still sticking to your guns.

At the same time, don't ignore red flags!
