>respectfully say it's a little lower than what I was expecting but I'll consider, interview was pleasant otherwise
>interviewer says that sounds good, I'll reach out to you on Monday
>get ghosted for 3 months
>in the meantime get a market rate job (about $35/hr) with a good company about 1mo after graduation
>get an email yesterday asking if I'm still interested
Should I meet unprofessionalism with unprofessionalism or take the high road? I'm planning on just ghosting them but my dad told me it would be funny to send an email saying "Thank you for reaching back out. Unfortunately I've accepted a competitive offer at cracker barrel and have decided to go that route"
This is a major ENR firm by the way. They're clearly just trying to scam a new grad that doesn't understand how the economy works

You are starting out and if in 5 years they have a great position you don't want to rule yourself out. Industries are smaller than most realize and you will work with the same people at different companies.
