Help about internal vs external job change

Hi, I'm currently working for a big tech company in France, and I have an internal job change planned for April 1st. However I was also prospecting for other jobs in parallel and got an offer that i'm seriously considering. Nothing wrong with my future position either. If i resign now I'll probably be blacklisted in my current company. Also I'll have to endure the legal 3 months (yes it's 3 months in France for engineers) before I leave. The company is big enough so that HR and managers are dehumanized AF. The engineers are also in high demand in the area. Did you find yourself in a similar position ? What would you do : use the job offer as leverage ? but I haven't started my new position, so it's not the best timing go full scorched earth and resign. these people aren't my friends. refuse the offer,…

Did you find yourself in a similar position ? What would you do :

  • use the job offer as leverage ? but I haven't started my new position, so it's not the best timing
  • go full scorched earth and resign. these people aren't my friends.
  • refuse the offer, start my new position and maybe re-apply to the other company later
