If you're pulling out doesn't really matter. Better to not waste people's time

Not that bad

It's fine to either withdraw completely or request a reschedule.

Not an issue. Shows you respect their time.

Not bad at all. Pulled out two days before at Bain because of another offer. They were super understanding and said to reapply if the new role wasn’t as expected.

It’s as bad as going to a shop and not buying anything

Better than wasting everyone’s time

Pulled out of an interview 10 min before; but had done the 1-2 day pull out a couple of times (sometimes interviewing wears you out and you just can’t do it)
Once they sternly “yelled” at me over email but I wasn’t planning to ever apply there again.
Caveat - give advance notice when you can if you want to still apply with that company at a later point (2 days or more is acceptable).

Honestly it's the norm in 2022. Unemployment is at record lows, people have options.
