Accepted an at-will offer (very happy with it but not dream job) that doesn't start until a couple months later but a Google (dream job) recruiter reached out to interview. What would you do?

Do the interview!

Interview. Interviewing cannot hurt. If you get an offer, then you have a decision to make.

Do the interview, keep up with the recruiter through your on boarding process at the less than ideal job. If you get the Google offer, accept and prepare a thoughtful explanation to the job. If the offer doesn't come through (very possible in this environment), you have your backup

like

Don't worry about reneging until you get an offer you like. Statistically, most interviewees don't get an offer, so more likely than not, you're wasting your time.

What do you mean by at-will? A contract?

Ah, gotcha. Employment in US generally falls under some form of at-will unless you're a government employee or a union member. If this isn't in the US, just disregard :-)

I've been interviewing with another company for about a month. The whole process has been 3 interviews over a months time. I have been in my current role over 6+ years (as HR mgr) and it's very transactional and not very strategic. The new company wants someone to lead a team from a senior level (HR Director) - what advice do you have for taking the next step in my career? I'm likely going to take the offer if it comes.

Anyone leave before their bonus (before knowing what the amount was) and then regret it when it turned out to be a huge bonus? Got a great offer that I want to take but feeling FOMO by leaving the bonus on the table.

And yes, I tried moving the start date and asking them to cover the lost bonus but they said no and it’s still a better offer and it would be irresponsible not to take it.
