Low if internal applicant is a better match

It depends. Sometimes the job is already theres and is more of a promotion. They are interviewing others just to go through the motions. Sometimes there do not have anyone in mind but will interview internals as a curtesy to them. Really just depends on the role and the specifics of the internal applicant.

Low chance. Although it really depends on the company. But most, if not all, prefer an internal applicant since they already have his/her records. You can still try.

I don't want you to have high hopes with that. Companies will always favor internal applicants unless of course you have a very impressive resume and experience making you over qualified for the job.

Has anyone interviewed with eagle hill consulting?

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?
