No. If they want you they'll move quickly. If you're plan b then you'll find

Yeah, but not if he's the 1st of a week's worth of interviews.

That's my worry.

Don't worry. Don't tell the people interviewing you. Tell the recruiter afterwards.

I'd tell the recruiter organizing the interview at the end of the interviews that day. I wouldn't want to say anything

At end of interview with Company B:

Ooh, I like this. Thanks!

I wouldn't tell them you have an offer from Co. A until you actually have one...

StarMan

So you're saying I should mention company A, even if there wasn't an offer yet?

You may not want to name them specifically, but letting them know you've

It will only hurt if company B can't move fast or doesn't want to offer

Better question: is it bad practice to tell Company B you have another offer

Depends on how you feel about lying.
