Any tips how to tell a company that you're going with another offer, but in a way that keeps that relationship and door still open?
After many interviews, I ended up with 2 great offers, and I'm about to do 1 final interview. I liked all 3 hiring managers, all 3 companies, but 1 is the winner and I'm accepting the position.
I want to maintain that relationship because, well, you never know!

I’d do it incase you get one rescinded. Don’t stop until your start date Incase it gets rescinded

Should I even do the final interview on the 3rd company? Again, the goal is to maintain the relationship.
On one side I want to see if they offer me a position, and use that as future reference. But i also don't want them to feel I've wasted their time, and thus closing that door for future opportunities.

Yes, keep going. And keep your heart it it. I've had offers Rea indeed for the silliest reasons. Don't decline till you sign soemthing or actually start working.

All you need to keep the door open is say that you've interviewed for several roles, and after a tough decision you've chosen another option. You appreciate the opportunity to interview, and hope to have the chance to work for them in future.

I've interviewed at the same place twice, with the same manager once removed. And I've declined twice. I had no trouble getting the second interview.
It was in software development leadership at a regional bank.

Boomerang employees is a thing. When you’re ready to give notice just be professional about leaving to maintain a positive relationship and thank for the learning opportunity good luck 🤞🏼

He just has no parental instinct and they’re clearly not comfortable around each other so I never ask for his help or push them to spend time together. I want us to be a happy blended family but even I don’t know the right thing to do at this point to get there. Any advice?
