I currently have an offer for an accounting position that has a great pay increase from my current position but I’m also in the middle of interviewing and have one last round with another company for a financial analyst position that I would prefer over accounting. However the final rounds won’t be until first week of January due to the holidays. Could anyone give me advice on what to do? The pay for the second position would be slightly higher than my current offer.

Ask for the offer deadline to be extended so that you have enough time to complete the final interview for the financial analyst role and hear back about the decision

Unfortunately I cannot extend my offer deadline

Ask the recruiter for an extension due to the holidays. Explain to them that it's important to you to spend this time of the year connecting with friends and family. If they are not sympathetic to this request it's, at best, a red flag on their recruiting practices, or at worst, an indication of poor company culture. Either way, you'll get an additional data point to help you make a decision.

As you have an offer already it's very unlikely they will retract it when you ask for an extra week to decide as they have spent the time to choose you. You have the leverage here

I have been in a similar position, what i did is accepted the position and made sure the final interview didnt intefere with the position, i did the final interview and like the offer, i left the other company on good standing since i was on probationary period anyway hope that helps!

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
