Are you interviewing elsewhere
Discussion
The best answer to any interview question is the true one.
They might think they're a second choice, but it's more likely they'll think that your skills are potentially in demand and that if they don't make you an offer quick, they'll lose you.
If you say you're not interviewing elsewhere, and they ask "Why?", what will you say then?

"Yes, but your are my first choice because...." + stuff about them and their approach to the market / products / strategy and then why it's good for you - natural career step, good cultural fit, etc.
Pah. Needy. It reads, "I really, really want to work with you and don't have another place to go to so am happy to take a lower salary." "Yes, but your are my first choice because...." + stuff about them and their approach to the market / products / strategy and then why it's good for you - natural career step, good cultural fit, etc.
I told one interviewer I had one interview the following week and was awaiting the outcome of another interview.
BTW Are we allowed to ask, "Are you interviewing any more candidates?" and get huffy if they are?

Yes.
If they then ask whioh they most likely will why would you like to work for us, then by all means roll out the bullst brigade and tell them what they want to hear but try not to sound desperate.
