Received 2nd Round Interview GE FMP - Should I renege current offer?

Hey folks,

I was told a few days ago that a few positions opened up for GE FMP in their Healthcare division for full time and they want to interview me for a second round interview . I originally interviewed with them back in October for first rounds and I never heard back from them until a few days ago. Since I never heard back from them in so long I took an offer with Bank of America doing Risk Management/Internal Audit.

Now I am in quite a pickle because I don't want to pass up a great opportunity to interview with GE FMP but at the same time I don't want to get in any sh*t with my career services department at my school since they take reneging seriously. At the same time I eventually want to go into F500 corporate finance so this would be a good chance to do that but then again this 2nd round interview is no guarantee to a job and my current internal audit could be a good lateral to corporate finance if I want to transition later (from what I hear). What do you guys recommend I do?

I would really appreciate any feedback and guidance!

 
.Nana:

Don't renege until you get an offer and don't tell anyone anything before you get the offer and you should be fine.

This. A second interview is just that....a second interview. If/when you get an offer then you can worry about that.

 
tonystark:

Thanks for the feedback guys. Just wondering, do you guys think its even worth pursuing the 2nd round interview with FMP or not? Or is the BofA offer good?

Definitely. I would take GE FMP over BAML IA everyday and twice on Sundays. Check it out and you'll be able to put your mind to rest one way or another.
