Unless you took time off to take it, use it as interview practice, then let them know afterwards that you’re not interested in the role after speaking with them.

To me, that comes off a bit better than flaking at the last minute.

I second this. I would still use it as interview practice since it’s already schedule and then withdraw from the process afterwards. Always think about possibly applying again in the future and not wanting to burn a bridge.

Apologize, and tell them you are not excited about the role. They will appreciate you did not waste more of their time.

That’s illegal.

I interviewed for a role with the Enterprise Risk Team at EY. I told them my salary requirements were $105 k before the interview. They said it should be ok if I'm brought in as a Senior 1. After the interview, they said they want to bring me in as a Staff2 at $84k with $3k signing bonus. I'm trying to get on a call to negotiate further...do these numbers sound right to you all?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more.

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits
