Dream job offer and Grad school offer. Should I bring it up in the grad school interview?

[private_donkey]

I have gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. I have applied to three grad schools programs and have received interviews at all three (yay!). However, I have also been offered more or less my dream job (at least dream company). I plan on accepting the job offer. I should mention that the company works in a very related field to the research I want to do and that multiple professors in the department I am applying to have worked at the company I will be working at. The company also allows it's employees to take courses (paid by the company) from the programs I have been given an interview for.

 

I still plan on attending grad school within the next couple of years. I have a lot of previous research experience and really enjoy it. I am wondering if I should bring this up in my grad school interviews? If I bring it up I am worried that it will deter the programs from offering me acceptance. If I don't bring it up, then get offered acceptance and then declince/defer, I am worried that it will harm any attempts at future applications.

 

Also, I am wondering about how to approach co-supervision in my interviews?

If you plan on accepting the job, turn down the interviews. Doing the interviews if you already know you wouldn't be accepting their offer is probably wasting everyone's time.
