To drop out of interview

I am currently interviewing for a role at a company. This is a dream role for me, ticks most of the boxes and my career will head exactly in the direction I want to. Pay is also very good. Now, I scrolled through the employees on their Linkedin page and noticed that my ex started working there this summer. We didnt have an easy break up, even though my feelings are now gone for him but I don't want to see him again. The problem is that company is relatively small like 100 people and we will be in different teams but still. I am thinking to drop out, even if the opportunity is really amazing especially in times of tough job market,

I bet he wouldn't message that if you actually had the job already, he'd be on very dodgy ground. He's done it specifically to mess with you, I'd want that job even more after he played that shit. Please don't let him put you off but do keep the message.

Go for the job but only if you're 100% certain you have no lingering feelings for him.

Will you be upset seeing him with a girlfriend at the work Christmas do? If honestly no, take the job.

Good luck x

Even funnier if OP introduced herself to said ex's gf and then she in turn gave him stick for working with an ex! 😆

It was me who initiated breakup, he asked to reconsider, but just no. He shouldn’t hopefully create the issues when he realises it was a coincidence and I do not regret leaving him. He is in a regulated role. Any HR mark on his file and he lost his career. He is not stupid. My role is not regulated, he will loose out of situation if he messes not me. Worst outcome for me loss of job, for him loss of career.
