I think that was around a month back.
I’ve had a verbal offer after 1 interview and they wanted an immediate response. I had other irons in the fire and said I would reply within 2 business days. They weren’t super happy about it but said ok. The bad vibes and spidey sense was tingling hard for me. I checked with the 2nd role and they could not expedite. I phoned back 2 days later to accept the first (I needed work)and was told they’d given it to someone the same day I’d first spoken to them. Saaaay what!!?
Turns out the first hiring manager was a real piece (and was an VP) and burned through people like crazy. He had created a profitable enough model that his company ignored the chaos and high turnover. ######. Glad I missed that drama. Ended up with a decent contract elsewhere.
I stayed in touch with the 2nd company people via networking. A year later the 2nd company offered me a contract role and rate I couldn’t turn down. It was a great ride for 6 months then they messed with managers and my amazing boss left… and I left soon after too.
My long winded point being do what’s best for you, be clear on what you want, always have a plan B, be clear respectful and polite. Stay in touch with those you work or interview well with. Don’t burn bridges unless you need to.
