Possible, but then going MIA is a definite way to get yourself blacklisted by the company.

If its a small industry where people talk, your reputation also goes down the drain.

If your notice period is long/expensive enough, company will legally come after you for what you owe them in lieu of notice.

You are contractually obliged to give notice, there is no proper way to bypass it.

So many different possibilities depending on the exact circumstances.

LOL - definitely not advisable unless the intention is to burn all bridges and dont look back.

Colleagues will remember, even if they move companies, depending on circumstances.
I've seen people get industry wide blacklisted because decided to do something similar and the former colleagues moved to different companies.
Hiring managers tend to ask around if its someone's former colleague.

Company HR will most likely put a do not rehire marker due to unprofessional behavior for a period.

This was actually people spreading around over the course of a couple of years through the industry and actively making sure this individual did not get hired across all the big players.

Not a HR or company effort to actively share/check.

Also was more than a basic MIA, and not an entry level role either. So people are bitter enough to remember.

Last i heard that individual had to abandon the industry since no one was willing to take a chance and jeopardize existing relationships.

But to be fair this is an extreme case. And not one that would be seen often, if at all.
