Cliffs:
1.) Applied for 2 jobs, interviewed and did well.
2.) Was offered job 1, and with a tight deadline and no indication of whether or not I would be offered job 2, I accepted.
3.) Would it make me completely evil to quit after a couple days If I?m offered job 2?
Ok, so I interviewed for 2 jobs, both said they would be making a decision at the end of this week. Both interviews went really well, though I thought the interview for job 1 went a little better. Job 1 called me today and offered the job. Tomorrow is the last day of work for the person they wanted to replace, so they needed a decision by the end of today. I called job 2 to check if they were close to making a decision and to see if I could get some indication of whether or not I would get the job, but they couldn't say anything more than they were still considering applicants. He did seem happy to hear from me though; he just couldn't talk long because he was busy with meetings. Since I didn't know if I would be getting another offer, I accepted job 1. The thing is, I would definitely prefer job 2. The pay is comparable, the advancement opportunities would be comparable and location is comparable. But the people at job 2 and the work I would be doing at job 2 were INFINITELY superior. So, my question is: If you were in my situation, what would you have done, and also if I do get offered job 2, would it make me a complete jack-hole to quit job 1 after just a couple days? Especially considering that they wanted their new hire to train with the previous worker, and that is no longer a possibility.
