Please don't waste their time if you know you will not take the position. A lot of time and energy coordinating schedules, etc. goes into the hiring process.
Someone who needs the job now can use that time slot.

I'm a PT WAH parent, and I usually like to have 2-3 gigs going at a time--like a PT job, some consulting, a contract assignment, etc.
I really like the org., mission, position that I've been interviewing for (at XYZ Inc.) but after interviewing, I secured a consulting gig that will prevent me from being able to take on much more at the moment. The XYZ position is a grant-funded project with a firm and non-negotiable # of hours, too many to commit to with my other obligations.
I could definitely see myself at XYZ in the future, or even now if I wasn't so fully committed. It's a great project, team, & organization.
They want me to come back for a "meet the team" interview. Should I decline now, saying I've had a change in availability, or go through with the next interview? Which is likely to make them feel less burned and more favorable toward me, to keep our future possibilities open?
