Is it wrong to attend a superday when I know I’m going to accept another offer?financegirl16September 30, 2020 - 6:08pm

I already received an offer I know I will accept; however, I have yet to accept it. I have another superday invite for next week. Would it be wrong to attend? I would like to get some more interview practice and still maintain a relationship with the the firm. However, I have no intention of accepting the offer if given one unless something falls through with my current offer.

Some ppl will tell you no because you might take someone else’s spot but the reality is go for it, always. Never know what’s gonna happen and there’s 0 downside. You also get to network more and make more connections at the least. It’s extremely small but yeah why not dude. I’ve seen people accept and actually still go to later interviews so no big deal
Generally speaking: interviewing, especially for a last round interview, is frowned upon. Youre taking some other kid who doesnt have an offer just so you can practice your technicals or whatever. Unless for some reason you think your current offer is going to be rescinded, let the firm know so that the offer-less kid can get a shot at the position
IMO you dont need any practice you already have an offer
I don’t really get the “taking someone elses offer”, if you get the offer and turn it down the bank will still give SOMEONE an offer. They won’t just pull the spot just cause you turned it down.
You could use the interview as a chance to ask some “risky” questions or be super honest about yourself and see how it’s received. But it does kind of seem like a waste of time since you already have something
True, they won’t just not hire someone if you turn down an offer. However, they will extend an offer to their next choice from the pool of superday candidates— a pool that someone else, with a legitimate chance of succeeding, could have been a part of. You are in fact taking someone else’s chance to get an offer.
I agree with this 100%. Great point man!
This is a misconception. If you are invited to the superday and you get the offer, you were the top candidate. Once you decline, the 2nd ranked candidate receives the offer. The person whose spot you had taken for the superday was the (n+1)st ranked candidate, who would not have received an offer either way, unless all n candidates ended up declining (which isn't realistic).
go for it brodie.... you aren't taking someones spot, as they'll take SOMEONE for SA.
Don’t do that. We all know how competitive this is and how little spots there are especially during the COVID mess. Let another kid have another shot.
I’m a firm believer that good that you do will eventually come back to you. You don’t need the practice. Let another candidate have a chance at getting an offer. Be considerate, you have been in those shoes.
