I was laid off in December. In March I found what was essentially my dream job but the company decided not to move forward with the project. So I stayed unemployed. Until last week. Now I’ve got a job I’m supposed to be starting Monday and I’ve got an interview for a higher paying and better fitting job. I’m not good at juggling. I need to interview and negotiate for this better fitting job while starting paperwork and training on this gig that pays shitty and isn’t really what I want.
I’m kinda screwed if I can’t make it to a second round interview or a sit down negotiation because I started this other new job. And I don’t want to walk away from the new job I have because if the other one falls through I still need employment. This kind of Catch-22 is just another way of making life that much harder for people who are just trying to keep their head above water.
Anyone have any experience ditching out of a new job to interview for a different new job.
