      I’ve been job hunting for 3 months. Hardly any recruiters are reaching out, and my applications go nowhere. A recruiter from xAI reached out the other day, and I couldn’t bring myself to even apply. I told them I wasn’t interested without specifying why, but it’s Elon.

          That recruiter might work somewhere less shit in the future, so I’d rather not burn a bridge unnecessarily.

            Just be honest with the recruiter that the particular employer is the issue, but you would be open to discussing other opportunities. That doesn’t burn bridges, and it helps them better determine what you’re looking for.
