When do you stop interviewing after getting a verbal offer that you verbally accepted (it may not be the dream job but checks right boxes—comp, benefits, good company), but you haven’t received the formal offer letter? Two other companies want to move me forward in the interview process. I already told one that I’ve received an offer and they are trying to move up an interview with the hiring manager. The other knew I was expecting an offer and just asked if I can do a 2nd interview this week.

I don’t stop other activities until the offer letter is signed

Stop when you’re satisfied with what you have and confident that the other two aren’t better for you

Are you more excited about the two upcoming companies than the one you have an offer with? If so then continue

Doesn’t hurt to just keep interviewing, and who knows maybe the one you’re most interested in is the best culture.

I should add that I’m going to need to take maternity leave within the first 6 months of starting and with the company that extended the offer I know I will qualify for paid leave without a waiting period (they are aware of my situation).

Ok so the new job actually is with Deloitte :). I’m currently contracting and got a full time offer.
