When it rains, it pours.....

Yesterday I had my first interview in about 5 months.

Thought it went well, but you never know.

Today I had another interview with another company, again thought it went well, but you know how it goes.

An hour later the company I interviewed with today, made me an offer. I accepted since I had not heard from anyone else.

While I am filling out the paperwork for the background check, I get a call, it is an offer from the company I interviewed with yesterday.


So here is my problem

One company is a 3 month contract with a commute to Longmont, M-F 8-5

The other is 12 month contract with a 12 month extension, more $$ hr and I work from home 6pm - 2am Fri-Tue

Oops, thought I was in general discussion

Here I thought you had too many guns and were giving them away.

I do not see the problem, take the better offer. Call the other company and explain to them you got a better offer.

WFH, more money, longer contract, and this is a problem how?

As my brother, a Director of IT Infrastructure for a very large corporation, once advised, "They have no love for you so have no love for them. It's just business."

And it's true. You owe nothing to company 1. If company 2 is better for you, do it.

Friday Monday and Tuesday get a caffeine drip installed and work them both.

You did mention a background check but specific trade value is required before the mods get ahold of this

[feal]

have you signed anything? by accepting the other job - after you accepted the first, you could be burning bridges....... than being said can you leverage the other offer - longer contract etc

Man that is tough. Can you ask the second company if they can wait 3 months until your first offer/acceptance contract ends?

This is true too. There is ZERO loyalty towards the working stiff, NONE.

Find out from Company 1 if there is an opportunity for an extension with more $$.

I'd take the offer with more money every time. Completely agree with the "they have no love for you" crowd.

Does this qualify as a C&R or will one need to do a BGC at a FFL of choice?
