Off topic, but open to opinions if anyone has any. I’m currently interviewing with two different companies. I’ve had two interviews with Company 1, one with HR and one with the hiring manager + someone else I’d work under. They’re a massive company and at the end of the second interview (two weeks ago), told me they don’t plan to take any further steps until after the Fourth of July. They also mentioned that I should reach out to my HR contact if things progress with another company because they’d be able to move the process along faster for me if I am. There would be two additional rounds of interviews at Company 1. Last week I had an initial interview with HR at Company 2. Today I was invited to come in for an in-person interview with the hiring manager and another director next week. (Wrote back with my availability, so nothing is confirmed and with it being a holiday week, I am not sure if schedules will align.) Is now an appropriate time to let Company 1 I am talking to another firm, or should I wait until after my in-person interview? At present I am more interested in Company 1, but that may change after meeting the people I’d work with directly at Company 2.
