I have an offer from Firm A and currently interviewing at Firm B. I really like Firm A and plan to accept their offer. Is it appropriate to tell Firm B that I would like to discontinue the interview process? I don’t want to waste their time.

If you wouldn’t take the offer from Firm B given any realistic offer they might make, then it is totally appropriate.

like

Absolutely, just phrase differently. Something like

"I just got an offer from another firm that I have decided to take. Thank you so much for your time, it has been great to get to know everyone."

like

Absolutely appropriate

like

Yes definitely appropriate in this case.

Congrats on the offer OP!

like

Thank you!

Yes!!!

Thanks for the advice y’all!

Ask Comp B to fast track the process because you have an offer in hand. Best case you get another offer which you can use in negotiations with Comp A and there is no downside to it other than having to prep for the interviews. I guess it would depend to a certain degree on how far along you are with comp b.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
