I don't want to work at smaller companies ever again.

I work for a big company and I like being just a number.
In smaller firms there is a tendancy to be more personal.

Accept offer at company A, if a few months later company B decides to offer you a job that you think is better, then quit company A and move on to company B. There is no shame in moving on. In the business world everyone is for himself. If you don't think for yourself, everyone will take advantage of you every chance he gets.

Just think when companys like Boeing or IBM decide to reduce costs by announcing massive lay-offs, did the management ever thought about maybe the workers they are laying off really needed the job so they can provide for their families? Not a chance in hell!

So if the management feels that they have no obligations toward you then why should you doubt yourself whether it's ok to quit a job or not?

Also if you only worked at a company for a short period of time, you don't even have to put that experience on your resume. Because any work experience after you have already graduated from college that's only a few months long is not worth anything in the eyes of the employer because your first few months at a new job is training anways. There is no need for your new employers to know, so it's not professional suicide.

A similar situation happend to me. I told company A to I am really interested in the job offer, but I still have other options to see because I still have other interviewing process to go to. Then I told them to give me till so and so days for me to decide. I went in to second interview with Company B and also offered me the position. Now after I know I was offered with both company I weighted my pros and cons to see what company I want to work for. Pay wasn't of an issue because I wanted to see which company will provide me with more skills in the long run, though Company A offered a lot more money. But then I decided to take on Company B and declined A. It turned out Company B was a crap job with crap pay. Hated the boss and hated the job period. Though I learned a lot, thinking back if I didn't take Company B I wouldn't be where I am now. Currently, self employed as a IT consultant and part time contractor for a big company with really good pay. Should look at what your outcome will be in the future by determining the job you take now. Hope this helps.
