Have two days of virtual interviews with a company. Went thru HR stage and Hiring Mgr. Realizing now that while I love the company’s mission, the exact role I’m interviewing for doesn’t seem appealing.

Any advice on how to handle? Go forward or cancel interviews? Bad look to cancel?

Continue going through with it, if the TC offered ends up being good then it might convince you right?

Based on the info shared, it’ll be lower than what I’m expecting at PwC

Send a note to the recruiter saying you just accepted an offer with another company and won’t be continuing with the interviewing process. Thank them for their consideration. This way it doesn’t waste more time for both parties.

How do you know it’s not appealing? And how do you feel about the hiring manager?

People are notoriously bad at articulating exactly what a role entails. You’re probably getting some sense of it but not everything.

Something similar happened to me, where I didn’t think the role was the best fit from interviews (in my case it was more that I thought it was only an 80% fit or so), but I proceeded with the process because I really liked the hiring manager and team. I’m glad I did, because I recently joined and found that this is a much better fit than we realized. Now I’m even more excited about my role.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities.

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.

Currently job hunting. I know a few retired C-level executives who tell me that they would hire me at the director level in pretty much any role (despite currently being an individual contributor) because I'm extremely driven, a life-long learner, a natural leader, and deeply educated in diverse fields (PhD in engineering and MBA in analytics). However, I can't seem to land a senior role. How do I convince an executive to take a gamble on me based on my past success and strong future potential?
