Guyz. Just had a job interview, and I expect to get a call later to confirm the job. And they want me to start next week. But I'm supposed to have another interview later this week, for a significantly better job. However, that one is no guarantee. What should I do?

I had the same dilemma and I took a risk by not taking the first job I was offered and waiting to hear from the one I wanted. But I had an okay job at the time so it wasn't urgent.

If the interview and the first work day are the same you're fucked. I'd say push your luck and go for the second interview.

Accept the one that you were offered. Later, go to the other interview and try to get the better job. If possible accept the offer and tell them you'll have to quit your job first so you can start in 2 weeks?

Yeah, you can always tell them you changed your mind. If the interview is later this week, that's not too long. Gotta do what you gotta do.

That's pretty inconsiderate though :D Worse yet, I got it through a friend of a friend.

Anyway I suppose that's what I'll do :D
