I work at a large company. I’m interviewing for my dream job at this same company with another department.
A week ago, I went to another company for a position that pays way less and is asking something of this position that is not up to the pay grade. I would like the position, but I have my hesitations. But they’re intent on making an offer and informed me yesterday they will be in contact next week with a decision.
Today, I had a really great interview with my current company at this other department, but they let me know the next steps. It seems positive and yet uncertain.
My current boss says I should accept the other should the offer be made and start resigning, and that once I get an answer from the current position, I could back out. I feel uneasy about it though. I know decisions have not been made yet, but I’m apprehensive and wondered what I should do if I have to make a decision. I want to reject the offer and wait for another opportunity that I’m certain of regardless. But I am wondering if what my supervisor advised is ok?
