I wrote them a very friendly “thank you” email to apologize and show my appreciation for their time and they were friendly back.
If I were all sorted out and ready to get back into the fray would Atlas entertain another application or is there a chance I burned a bridge? My reason for declining wasn’t anything medical, disqualifying or to work somewhere else.
There's always a chance you burned a bridge, but there's always a chance whoever interveiws you decides you like the wrong football team, like football too much, don't care enough about pro sports, don't care enough about laser interferometers and gravity observations. My point is why worry?
Apply. See what happens. If you want to come here and we say "no", try again.
