Need some advice.
It’s been a year since I flunked the interview for my dream company, since then I’ve started at a different place and I like it, the people are good, the work is interesting, and I’d like to stay a bit longer (maybe for another year or two).
My dream company, per their retry policy, just reached back out. I’d I decline their interview now, it may take my longer to get noticed again. How do I communicate that I’d be interested next year without burning the bridge?

Doesn’t hurt to interview again. If it ends up being a no, it’s good practice. If it ends up being a yes, then you have a decision to make. Own your career - don’t make it about other people - it’s yours.

There are no dream companies , only dream roles. There is no point in waiting one year for your dream role. If you really think you will happier there, why wait?

But you are not burning anything, unless you get to an offer stage.
