Accepted Internship offer but got another interview what should I do?

I accepted an internship offer earlier last month for a corp. fin role but just received the opportunity to interview for another internship at a consulting firm's TAS group which more closely aligns with my career goals. Should I inform the interviewer at the upcoming interview that i've already accepted an offer elsewhere but am highly interested in their firm? Also, do you think that it would be too late to renege if given an offer from the other company considering that the internship starts in June?

Would appreciate any input. Thank you

This response reads a lot more hilarious than it was probably intended to be.

I agree with the comment though. Depends on if you feel comfortable with reneging on the 1st offer and dealing with any fallout from that (which is not the end of the world scenario made out to be).

Thanks for the reply. Would you suggest letting the interviewer know that I have an offer from another company (even though I've accepted an offer) or is it best to just not mention anything? Only reason i'm concerned is that I don't want to run the risk of the loosing any accepted or potential offers.

 

I would not mention it at all. If you have already accepted the first offer, just do the interview and hope you get the second offer, and once you get it you decline the one you had accepted before.
