How terrible would it be to continue pursuing other job opportunities even after you already accepted an offer? I applied to three different places around the same time but one was able to throw out an offer before the other two would even enter into second interviews. The other two will likely pay considerably more so I feel like it’d be a waste to decline them (if I even get another offer).

I’ve done this. The only person who’s looking out for you is you — keep interviewing if that’s what you want to do and when another offer comes, have an honest conversation with HR.

That said, if you’re employed rn and can hold out on the other offers than do. If you’re in a position with or without a job and you can’t stand waiting then take the first offer that comes. If you get successive offers just be honest. It’s unlikely you’ll run into the same people at company A where you declined after working at company B or C.

Following as I am sailing in same boat as well. It wouldn't be bad to accept a better offer as it is your money and time.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
