I finished the second interview for job 1 last week. They finished checking my references today and called me tonight (at 8:30pm?!) to make an offer and sent me an email with an attached offer letter. (including salary)
I went on the second and final interview for job #2 today and was told I that she needed to speak with the other people I'd interviewed and had one more interview (tomorrow I believe) but that she planned on hiring me. I was the only canidate she'd called in for a second interview. She said she would let me know by the end of the week. From my brief salary discussion I believe they would offer me as much if not more then the first company.
There aren't any glaring deficiencies with either company, in fact they both have amazing benefits packages and are in strong stable fields. Without knowing all the specifics for job #2's salary I feel like the company may have a better fit and a more enjoyable work environment for me. I'm not sure but I also think the potential for advancement might be stronger as well. I had a great rapport with both people (potential bosses) though. Its a hard decision but I'm sort of leaning towards job #2 provided the salary is at least a match.
Now I have the offer letter for job #1 and I want to have a offer letter for job #2 before I make a decision. I certainly don't want to toss the still great opportunity for job #1 without knowing for sure job #2 is mine. I'm not sure its a good idea to stall on accepting job #1 for more then a day.
I'm thinking I'm going to call job #2 and just explain the situation. She may want to check my references (which could be done in the morning most likely). And hopefully she can make me an official offer by the afternoon.
Is this a good plan? Opinions?
