Recently accepted an offer from an agency I really like. I’m still a few weeks out from my start date and another place I was interested in has reached out for an interview. I have no intention of pulling out of my current offer, but am curious about what the other place is like. Should I just explore this opp as if I haven’t already accepted an offer elsewhere?

I think I would. I’m almost in the same boat. Nothing wrong with taking the interview. You don’t even need to get ahead of yourself and tell them about the other offer, unless things start to get serious. Congrats, btw!

I’d go for it. It may even make you more confident in your decision to go with your current offer, rather than wondering “what if?”

like

Sure, why not? Can't hurt to find out what they're all about so you'll know in the future. Also good interview practice. Go for it!

Go for it and congrats! It's always exciting to get your feet wet in a company you actually enjoy!

Yes, do it.

Yes, but don't pull out of your current offer.

Yes. Doing the same thing right now myself.

Yesss

I wouldn't. It's not right to interview for a job that you have no intention of taking, especially when you've already accepted an offer from another agency.

Agreed. Morals get you no where. The company wouldn’t think twice about doing what’s best for them

Yes. It is always a good idea to keep your options open. I don't think it hurts to explore and see what is out there.
