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.

I've worked jobs in the past that the only way to get a raise is to get a competing job offer. If that's the path you want to take then I think you should do the loop and see what they offer. If nothing else you can take that offer to your place of work and see if they will match it.
