I'm currently scheduled for a final round interview at a firm for a role, but I'm not 100% sure I would accept the position if it were offered. It's at a top company, and I want to make the most strategic decision for preserving future opportunities with the company. In your experience, is it better to politely withdraw from the process ahead of time if l have doubts, or to go through with the interview, do my best, and potentially decline the offer if it's extended?

Are you 100% sure you would decline? If not, keep going forward

No I’m honestly 50-50. The company is one I definitely want to work for at some point in my career. I’m just not sure if I’m ready for this role yet at this stage in my career. My bigger fear is not doing well and not getting an offer, and then basically having no chance in the future…

Go forward with it. If you do well and decline you can always reach out again, sometimes the stars just don’t align

Hi all!! I am a first year master of urban planning student with a focus in economic development, spatial planning, and geospatial analysis and visualization (GIS, SPSS, R). I know guidehouse has a pretty robust state and local government consulting arm (and I would love to hear from any GH employees), but what other firms have strong local and state government practices? Does anyone work in this arena and would be willing to chat with me? Thanks so much!! Enjoy your Saturday 😊
