Starting a new job next week but a premier firm reached out for a final round interview. Should I take it?

I would say take the interview - it’s your career and you need to take a long-term view of the situation

How would that work hypothetically? Let’s say you start work on day 1, a week later you get the offer. Do you disclose to the company you are interviewing with? Do you accept the offer and leave after a month?

For comparison: firm is akin to McKinsey and the new job is at a boutique where there is a personal relationship with the exec team

Maybe try to delay your start date while you do the final interview ?

This is definitely the right move

I am working to secure an opportunity at a large corporation.

I spoke to a few people working in the same function at the company to gain some insight and have applied through a referral link.

I know who the hiring manager is but have yet to connect with them but I am worried my application will get lost in the shuffle.

I’ve been getting a lot of interviews in the past couple of months. However, no offers. I see that some of jobs are being reposted - it looks like they haven’t found anyone else. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, or is the job market crazy?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

KPMG I’m confused on your referral process. Had a friend refer me before I made an account, made an account, applied to two jobs and got rejected (that’s fine). But if I want to apply to a third job, will it still be under her referral or do I need a new referral? (She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(
