i got a job offer that’s exploding this week and am in the process of interviewing for my dream company. i let them know i got the other offer, but they said they need 3 weeks to get back to me. How do i let them know i’m going to reject the other company to keep interviewing with them?

If it’s an exploding offer then reneging is fair game.

You can also accept the offer and keep interviewing, there’s no guarantee you’ll get the other

Yeah, reneging is always an option.

Why?

but i let the other company know that I got the other offer so they may not consider me anymore. i wouldn’t want them to think i’m reneging. also i don’t think i would take the offer regardless (not satisfied with the comp)

Just tell them you’d like to continue in the process. I doubt they’ll ask for details

I had my PM 5 on-site interviews at Google yesterday! It was great except for my last interview. My estimation was maybe a 5/10. A few things happened: it was introduced with only 10 minutes, there was a surprise extra person shadowing, and my interviewer turned her camera and mic off twice turning that part of call. I wasn't sure if I should keep going or wait and late I day, I couldn't stop from being thrown. Is there any value in letting my recruiter know that the interview didn't go well?

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

Do you mention who your clients are in interviews? I can never tell what the right way to do this is. I usually say something along the lines of “a large client in X industry/vertical” because dropping the client name feels tacky? But at the same time, my main client is niche and knowing who is kind of vital to understand the work.
