I'm considering canceling a job interview because I got another offer and I'm not interested in the company at all. Bad idea?

If the offer is the one you want and you aren’t interested in the job interview, cancel it and don’t waste your time and their time. But if you aren’t sure about the offer and the company, then just go for the interview. You’ve got nothing to lose but instead, you’ll gain more interview experience too.

Depends on how much you are interested in the offer. If you’re just being polite by going to the interview, then I’d say just cancel it. They won’t judge you for cancelling.

I wasn't interested in my current role until I spoke with someone who is doing the same job on my round 4.

I think of job interviews as an opportunity to benchmark your skills, the job market, and corporate cultures. It is also time to practice and riff on new angles and discussion points and see how they hit. In other words use the interview to practice and hone your delivery and story. See what lands we'll. See what you can refine for delivery. Practice memorizing people's names... say them right, say them wrong - just collect data on who you are and how you present yourself.

Nope. Just cancel it. They’ll respect you for not wasting their time — and you won’t waste yours either!

I’m interviewing at EY bc my current firm has an awful culture & revoked its program to sponsor graduate studies. Also they didn’t give us our quarterly bonuses (pre-covid), year end, and didn’t promote any of current associates but proceeded to hire new grads at full salaries (during covid). EY didnt sell me on culture and said they don’t do enough and there probably won’t be much change for the next year. I’m thinking of taking EY’s offer but unsure bc It may be the same situation. Thoughts?

I feel like my work place is either discriminating against me or has me on a list to get rid of. At the expense of coming across as a jerk I stand up for myself at work and I'm not afraid of telling my work place no. Which is one reason I feel I'm on a list that my upper management doesn't like. I don't go out of my way to be a jerk but I know my rights as an employee and my work place doesn't like that. They won't let me promote but let people I've trained get promoted.

For some context I went through my
final round with a potential employer a
little over a week ago. If the recruiter
said they'd provide me with an update
by Monday (today) and they did not
provide it yet, when should I reach out
and follow up?

Products I worked on previously were sold to a new company. I am a good fit because of my experience. However, I specifically left the previous company because I disagreed with the strategic direction they were taking with the products and didn't leave on the best terms with some of those involved. I've been told that the leadership is all new people, but, some might still be there.

How up front should about be about that history in the interviews?

So I was one of two final candidates for a position. I was not selected and was fine. What I do find issue was being told they loved me and still want to work with me. They referred me to one of their vendors - pay is 50k less and I would be working for the person I lost original position to. I am under the impression they do not realize how insulting they came off. AITA for saying below my salary expectations and not in line w/ career trajectory goals? Thanks but no thanks
