FAANG company just confirmed approval for my offer!
In 30 minutes I have an interview with a unicorn start up. This start up said they would have an offer for me last Thursday. Then it was Friday. Then this week. Still no offer. After jerking me around for a week, they scheduled this interview. It’s going to feel so good going into this call knowing I have another offer.

Which startup?

Don’t want to name and shame as they have otherwise been very considerate, if not a little wishy washy. I’ve interviewed for over a year, for everything from PE/VC to corporate strategy to tech.

If I were to name and shame, it would be Blackrock, who ghosted me after my final round. Honorary mention to Visa, who put me through 8 case interviews over 3 months for their corporate strategy team and then just... never made a decision...? Final communication was after 6 weeks they were still trying to get other candidates through the final round to be able to compare and contrast...?

Congrats!

Why would they go from giving you an offer to instead giving you another interview?

In short, I think because they’re a start up, they have 3 great candidates who each bring different skills to the table, and they can’t decide what it is they want or need.

I was selected for product based organisation but a third-party consultancy scheduled interviews and followed with them till offer release.
They(consultancy) are calling me sometimes and checking with me whether everything is good to join( i think they might get some money if I join)
But i see it was downgrade in technology in that organisation so I might not join in product company.
How do I convey them I have 20 days remaining?
