advice - interview at other funds while accepting offer

I recently received an offer from a fund (company A) that I accepted, and I have already resigned from my current job. Prior to receiving and accepting the offer, I was interviewing at two other funds (B and C), both of which I'd prefer over A. Both companies came back with next-stage interviews after I had already accepted A's offer. I accepted A because in this job market, I did not want to lose out on the offer, which was already hard to get.

Should I disclose to B/C that I already resigned with my old employer and that I have a start date with A coming up in a couple of weeks, or not? What if the interviews go well beyond the start date at the new job? How should I manage telling that to any future interviewers? Any advice?

tough spot. if you disclose they wont keep you in the process likely and if you dont and it comes out it could risk your current spot if they find out. have you started this new job yet?

 

idk. honestly, if youre worried about the job market then trying to play both hands might not end well.  I'd recommend you stick with job A unless its like you just accepted the offer 2 days ago and could potentially get an offer from B/C in like a week or two. otherwise it seems higher risk and lower reward

 

How long till you start at company A? I'd say continue interviewing till you start at the very least, tell B & C that you need them to accelerate a bit because you've moved into final stages with another fund (have you disclosed what funds you're interviewing with by name yet?).
