Received an offer from Company A this morning. Company B has been moving me quickly through the process this week and reached out this morning saying they put me on the schedule for late this afternoon. Is it rude to email Company B and say I’ve accepted another offer and to cancel the interview or should I go through with the interview and then politely withdraw. The role at B is interesting but A is my top choice.

if there is no way you’d take company B, let them know asap that you got another offer, and don’t want to needlessly take up their time if they have other options, but if they’d like to chat still, you’re open to it.

Furthermore, the implied feedback that they were slow is the only way they’ll improve!

Thanks for the insight, everyone! I told Company B I accepted an offer but they wanted to speak with me anyway and told me they want to keep interviewing me even though I made it clear Company A was my choice. I’m going to refer a colleague for the role and hope that excited them just as much. Appreciate everyone’s advice!

always keep doors open. you never know when it’ll pay off in the future, especially in an industry as small as ours.

This 👆 No sense in wasting everyone’s time if you have no intention of considering an offer.

If you already got the offer from your top choice, I think it would be rude NOT to email B and withdraw. Unless you would still consider going there pending they gave a better offer than A. Congrats!

Don’t want to come off like I’m complaining but also don’t want this to be the reason I don’t move forward. Any advice appreciated…
