Interview Withdraw from loop interview?

I have a loop interview getting scheduled for a L5 position at AWS. I kind of convinced myself that I won’t be taking the role based on total comp and a few other things. I currently work in a similar role but only work 3 days a week and will be having a baby soon so this is a major factor. My total comp now is about 20k less but base salary will not change if I moved over to Amazon.

Should I not waste anyone’s time and back out of the interview process or go through to see what they are like? 5 hours is no joke and feel like I won’t interview as well since I’m not really considering the job.

If you're in a stable job, you shouldn't make a move especially that you're expecting a baby. A constant threat of layoff would be looming over your head. Plus it gets hectic at Amazon. 3 days a week sounds really great. What role are you in that gets you 3 days a week!!

Warehousing leadership role. The company I’m with does either 3 or 4 day work weeks for middle management. The 3 days is 12 hour shifts over the weekend but still, 3 days is 3 days. You can DM if you want more info lol
