I’m starting at a new company on Monday, but have an MBB interview this week. Should I cancel the interview? Can I essentially “pause” my candidacy to continue the process in a year or so?

That company would lay you off in 2 weeks if it made financial sense to them. Continue interviewing with MBB before you make a decision.

This! Definitely continue to interview. You can sometimes push a start date out and if you can’t quit gracefully. Be loyal to yourself. I’m in a similar boat it’s not MBB but I took a job to get off the market and I’m waiting on something else before I start a job next year.

Continue the interview, if you get the offer...you could possibly push your start date back a few months. If not, screw it and join the MBB firm regardless

Continue interview and see what happens!

Interview. You are still in the interview groove and your answers flow smoothly. If you wait a year, you will be rusty and you will need to talk about your most recent job. If you get the offer (and there is maybe only a 50-50 chance, then you can decide if/when you want to leave based on the start date. That date could be next year due to the economy. If you don't get the offer, then at least you can focus on your job without regrets.

Thank you! Great points

This week is before Monday. If this is a final round they should let you know asap if you got the offer. If you get the offer then dont start new job

You’d have to be OK burning bridges at the company you’re starting with on Monday. But I would wager that McK might be worth it.

Hey guys, so I just finished my final interview on Monday (today's Friday) for a company in Norway and was told to wait until next week as they're interviewing this week. It's been a few days and has been replaying the entire interview on my mind wondering if it was alright. What do you do while waiting? I need to take off my mind from worrying - obviously I want this job so badly!

Have a chat with a recruiter coming up early next week around a Business Strategy Director role at Salesforce. Its in their Customer Success Group.

I am sure the recruiter is going to ask the “salary expectations” question so can anyone at Salesforce (past or present) tell me what the rough salary range for this role is ? Also, if you have any insight into the interview process, please let me know!

Thanks a bunch!
