I have interviews next week for bigger brand tech companies I’d be interested in but also have an offer right now for a senior financial reporting role in HCOL that pays well and also pays OT that I need to decide by tomorrow. Not the biggest fan of financial reporting and the company is midsize ($500m revenue) and not publicly traded but is fairly reputable. Any thoughts to just reject it and wait it out or take it?

I think the biggest concern based on your description so far is that you’re not a fan of financial reporting. Prioritize finding a job with responsibilities that you are interested in because it can send you down the wrong path that can be costly to revert. Alternatively if you think there’s decent opportunity for switching to other areas within the company then maybe it’s okay.

^2nd this. You don’t have to live your job but you definitely should be somewhat interested. Otherwise your motivation will drop off (eventually) and you’ll end up becoming toxic/resentful.
