After saying yes to an interview, I had a change of heart. Is it bad to tell the recruiter you no longer are interested and turn down the interview? Told him yes to an interview on Friday

I’m not in all that different of a situation than you. My outlook is that you go do the interview. Worst case scenario, it serves as practice. On the flip side, maybe you go all the way through, and the offer that you get makes you re-think your current position. No real downside to continue the process.

If you really think it’s a colossal waste of your time, don’t bother. But if you’re on the fence, it’s worth checking out. I’ve went on interviews for jobs I thought I would love and walked out disliking. I’ve had interviews for jobs I was on the fence about and walked out really excited about the position

I had the same thing recently. I never felt fully comfortable about accepting the interview. I emailed the recruiter the next day and said I wasn't interested anymore.

If you know you don’t want the job, email the recruiter and respectfully turn down the interview. Sticking through the process is a massive waste of your and their time and resources. If you’re sticking with it to see if the offer will be but enough to sway your decision, you’ll be back interviewing for a new job soon

I did a few of these with firms like Point B and Slalom. I really enjoyed the people I met and can understand their culture and market success that they have had. It was a positive experience and made a set of new connections.

Whatever you do: stay curious, stay positive and be respectful.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.
