Quick question:
I just accepted a position for when I graduate this spring and another company that I applied to months ago reached out to have a phone screen. Is there harm in having a conversation with them? Should I let them know that I’ve already accepted another offer or is it too soon to bring that up?

Keep your options open. Whats the harm for having a screen interview and have another option that could be better for you?

If you're still interested in working for them, definitely have the conversation. I'm happily employed but still talk to recruiters about jobs fairly regularly. Even if you don't take it now, you can start building some relationships that way.

Ok let’s say I make it through the phone screen, when would I bring up that I have excepted another offer? Should this happen during the conversation with the hiring manager?

A screen is not a contract. Especially if your start date is months away, it's worth a conversation. If you have to decline the offer it's not the best situation and may burn a bridge, but it's probably okay. I'd exercise caution as your start date approaches and also not to decline before making meaningful progress with the second company. You don't want to decline and then not get the other job.

like

I just reread your post. I wouldn't say you have accepted it but you might want to mention that you have received another offer as a way to negotiate.

I have a job that I'm quite happy with, and I will still occasionally take a screen or respond to a recruiter if they have something interesting.

Thanks for the perspectives everyone!

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
