Need advice. I have a job offer in hand and visa transfer is in process. another firm reached out for an interview. Should I continue interviewing although I have a job in hand and would mostly likely take it up once the visa transfer is done or should I play safe and interview as a backup option? Asking coz I am Really exhausted with interview prep and just want to take a ⏸. Any suggestions or advice?

J1 & J2 together make about 200k although there is no room for growth in either but WLB is amazing (< 10hrs per week). Stuck contemplating if I should abandon overemploy to chase promotions seeing that I could eventually get to my current salary with my job. Just feeling a little stuck over all. I know many consultants most likely make more. Any one else feel this way or have any thoughts? I was thinking of looking for a different J1 and slowly try to climb up if possible.
