Would you reach out to a contact to try an initiate an internal transfer, even though you’re in the process of 2 job interviews, or would you wait and see how they turn out?

Wait.

Only if you would take the internal transfer over the jobs you’re interviewing for. Otherwise you’re calling in a favor with a high chance of abandoning what they help arrange for you.

Hi Folks,

I'm actively looking for a job change in a profile completely different than what I'm doing currently.
My manager is sending me on-site and this will interrupt my interviews and preparation also.
And by that time if I receive any offer letter, I don't know what should I do?

Shall I reject the on site opportunity or go with it and reject the new offer?
