Hi everyone, I have a question. I am currently in the middle on of an interview process, where I am quite confident that I will get the job... but I want to work for another company that has contacted me 1 week ago to interview but hasn't scheduled the interview yet....

Meaning that their interview process is probably going to take longer... how should I reach out to the company and properly let them know my situation?

I've applied and networked for my dream job and didn't get an interview this time. Also dissatisfied with compensation and some of the responsibilities at my current job but have a lot of opportunity to learn. So the question is do I stay where I'm not thrilled to be now because it's good experience to set me up for the dream job next time there's an opening, or do I leave now to an option that's better pay and more interesting but farther off the path towards my long term goal?

Interviewed with Publicis Sapient last week and today the HR confirmed of postive response from Panel and mailed for documentation. Verbally agreed ctc is 17 lpa(includes 5% variable) , although I asked for 19 but she stated approval reasons but mentioned it will be increased before joining (as I have my appraisals also here in Pwc AC ). Am I being lowballed ? Current exp : 4.5 and CTC : 10+1.5 lpa. Also how flexible are they with joining dates ? Do they change in case of 3-4 days overlap ?
