I recently found myself in a tricky situation after receiving an offer letter from a company I had been considering for a while. I had been interviewing for about a month and a half, and just as I signed the offer, I got an invite for a screening interview with a company I actually prefer. The catch is that the maximum salary at this preferred company is lower than what I was offered elsewhere. Now, I'm torn about whether to proceed with the interview. Should I be upfront about the other offer and its higher salary? I'm worried that this might affect my chances if I decide to pursue that company later on, especially since I'm just starting my career. I'm seeking advice on how to navigate this situation.
