| Proper way to handle a job offer?
Couldn't find a similar thread so I decided to post it. If you got a job offer at a position in which you view as a "safety" and are still waiting on offers from companies which you really want, what's the proper way to handle it?
I got a call today from one of my safety jobs, and when the recruiter asked if I would like to move forward with the process, I asked her for a couple more days to reply, and she gave me until Monday (today being friday) to respond. Thing is, I really doubt I'll hear back from the places I want to hear back this weekend. I'll probably hear back by the end of next week or maybe even later.
Would it be ok if I accept the current job offer, work for a couple weeks (or even shorter), then quit if a much better offer comes by? Or is there some obligation to stay until the rest of the summer at the safety job. We're talking about a commercial bank part-time job at around $14/hr, 30-35 hrs a week, as opposed to a legit ib internship, which may not even be paid but will look far better on the resume as opposed to the safety job. |
