Sure. I just did this. I ended up declining to go through further interviews with the second firm bc they would have taken too long and I wouldn’t have wanted to give up the first offer. Just relay this in a professional way so you don’t waste anyone’s time. I discussed this in interview #1 with firm #2 and emailed both people I interviewed with and the recruiter to let them know I was dropping out and why, and that I would like to stay in touch for future opportunities.

I let my recruiter know I have a Monday deadline to respond to another offer. They managed to arrange for expedited interviews and gave me less than 48 hour notice to prepare for 5 on-site interviews the Friday before. It was also my birthday the day before the interviews and I had done 1 mock case in my life. Went to bed stress free not expecting anything and that’s exactly what worked out. 🙂

Thank you mck1. I really appreciate it.

Hi, I'm currently with TCS. I have given technical interview with Infosys on 9th October and the very next day I got a mail to send documents. Since then I didn't receive any reply from them. How long does the process really take for one to get a call for HR discussion. It's been almost 10 days now. Similar situation happened with Accenture recently, they put me on hold for long and suddenly turned down the offer after HR discussion for which I'm really concerned now.
