Don’t reschedule the interview

No. I'd block that time off by sending my work email a meeting invite from my personal email and mark it as a personal event. The partner can wait a few hours.

I’ve done it both ways. Immediately regretted rescheduling the interview. Telling partner I had an appointment and suggesting a time right after, not an ounce of regret.

Agree with everyone else. If you’re serious about lateraling you almost have to look at the process at your #1 job, and everything at your current job becomes #2. Do all you can to make sure #1 goes smoothly and you make the most informed decision you can. Good luck!

I think the logic is, if you’re already interviewing, you’ve made up your mind that there are greener pastures. So I wouldn’t do any favors to a place/people that would hold you back from attaining what you believe to be better.

Do not reschedule the interview

like

Partner can wait.

I have rescheduled a screening interview before and it wasn’t a problem at all. But I rescheduled because of a client meeting, not an internal meeting. I think that firms are understanding of the fact that you have a duty to your existing clients

Was it blocked off? If so keep it

I’ve had several great interviews with a few diff companies. Or rather, I thought they went well but then I get the dreaded “thanks but we made the difficult decision to move forward with other candidates”. I’ve asked for feedback but so far have gotten none.

Any advice on how to proceed?

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
