I’d consider it if there were some extreme mitigating circumstance (e.g. my sister just passed away, I just learned I have COVID, I just got evicted). Would recommend doing a mea culpa of “I should have realized I would be unable to focus on the interview at this time and I apologize for not letting you know of my conflict in advacne. I know that interview did not showcase the value I can bring to the firm and the type of employee I would be and so I would appreciate another opportunity to ensure you have all the insight necessary to make your decision.”

Wow thanks!

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?
