Hey guys, I’d like your input on this.
I’ve just received this email for a collaboration proposal, which I don’t think looks sketchy at all.
For a bit more of context, I’m a CS college student about to graduate, and I decided to build a portfolio with academic projects and a small CV which I hosted in GitHub pages.
I’d normally not answer because they send me emails to my non visible email, but this one is on my public email (and wasn’t flagged as spam, could be that both are gmail?).
I googled their email and found what a think it’s their GitHub profile, name and location check out, however they don’t have any repository nor commits.
What should I do? Is this an scam?
Edit: I asked for clarification at the risk of being targeted for spam, and I received a reply within 5 minutes. It’s basically a job to do interviews and meetings. There are a few things that I didn’t find clear, like, who will I be representing during meeting/interviews among other things.
Anyways, I’ll probably decline since it’ll too much for me as a first part time job.
Thank y’all who replied
Looks reasonably legit to me. You can always ask for more details if you're interested. What exactly do they want you to do? What software is it?
It does feel slightly odd that someone would be spamming GitHub users for something like this, but you never know... Can't hurt to ask for more details anyway.
Yeah, I asked for more details and got more information about it, I still need more info.
I’ll probably decline since performing interviews doesn’t sound like something I’d like to do as a first job
