Tough one, in this day and age, first of all its important to put things in perspective.



With the Dream Job, the first interview has lead to the second interview, but there are still a lot of ifs. Second interviews are hyper competitive and especially now, even though there's some recovery on the jobless rate.


With the smaller one, if the interview goes well they could generate an offer at the table. I'm always a little suspicious about that because it tells me that they didn't have much interest in the position, or there's something else there that's making them rush to hire.


First thing I would do is approach the dream job, and tell them that you respect their schedule but your getting to late stages on other opportunities, so you need a firm grasp on the process and chances. If you're of that much interest they'll move the sun to get you. It might help you speed things up.


With the second company, its great that they're willing to offer at the table, but they should understand if you need a bit of time to run the numbers so to speak, they'll likely give you an offer letter with an expiration date.


You're playing double musical chairs.
