No that's not normal

In this environment it seems to be the norm because they have a ton of candidates

like

Yea it is normal. Accept it (if you think you could do it) and if you change your mind let them know. This way you don’t overly stress yourself out.

I had this too and was told bc they have other candidates lined up. I was able to extend by another day through negotiation.

like

Yeah I did

Normal in this job environment, unfortunately! How much you can extend totally depends on the hiring manager (and if you are the top candidate / timelines of the backup candidates).

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview?

I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

I was a Manager at a Big4 doing PM fed work earlier this year. I decided to join a small firm to pursue cloud sales. However, the position is extremely technical in nature and I'm required to speak tech ( kubernetes, openshift, CICD) to potential clients.
While I have learned from the exposure, I dont intend to continue in a tech role & looking to exit. I'm thinking of Customer/ Partner Success Manager roles with one of the CSPs. Are there other non tech cloud exit opps in industry to consider?
