Never feel bad about wasting a company's time when it comes to hiring. Everyone gets jerked around in the hiring process, it's good to give it back to them now and then
Very fair point. That makes me feel better about going in out of sheer curiosity and to work out where I fit in in the industry and maybe make a couple connections. It has been a long road towards not taking these evaluations too personally (whether positive or negative) or feel like I need to be selling myself at all times. And it's a small industry, so it's easy to feel over-conscious about what people think, but I'm sure I can still maintain a decent enough profile with a gracious "thanks but no thanks" at the end of the interview.
