Inteview and acceptance dilemma

by madtechgirl . Updated 19 years, 7 months ago

I applied for a higher level position in my company three months ago. After three weeks I went to the hiring manager and asked what was up with the position. He told me I had made the cut and he had 15 candidates to interview but he was thinking about not filling the position. He also mentioned that another in-house person was interested and the guy has been here longer than me. So I figured I should look elsewhere. I interviewed elsewhere and accepted a position with another company. Here’s the dilemma. – I gave my two week notice. Three days later the hiring manager sends me an email saying he heard I was leaving, he’s decided to fill the position and wants to know if I was still interested. I am still interested because it’s a higher level position and I wanted to stay with this company BUT I’ve already accepted a job with another company. What should I do? Interview? Then what if I’m offered the job? Go to the new one then come back? Work out not going to the new one and apologize to them but retract my acceptance? Has anyone experienced this before?
