I was sadly laid off from a fantastic job in April due to unexpected geopolitical issues that happened this year. This caused thousands of people in the city (and probably country) to lose their jobs.

With so many people job hunting, it’s been SO competitive and difficult just to get someone to read your CV.

I finally got an offer. It’s quite a lot less than what I was earning before, but it’s a decent and liveable salary. The company is a startup, but not your typical “crypto bro” type startup. It’s something that I genuinely believe will be a huge success.

A day before this offer, I had an interview at a global, hugely successful company. The salary is the same as the role I had previously. I’m certain that the interview went extremely well, but I’ll only know on Monday or Tuesday what their decision will be.

I can’t be too picky about jobs right now, but it wouldn’t be a smart decision to join the startup if the other company gives me an offer.

What’s the best way to delay giving a response to the startup without missing out on the opportunity if I don’t get the other role? Or am I being too greedy and ungrateful?

The first few times I smelled it, I ignored it. Not my business. But then the other day, I guess they were smoking indoors, and my entire apartment smelled like it. I guess it got into the AC duct. I was annoyed but, again, none of my business what others do.

Tonight really annoyed me though. I could smell it again, but decided to mind my business. Then some glass came crashing down onto my balcony while I was standing there, narrowly missing me.

Imagine if a child had been standing there, or it had actually hit me. Most residents in the building are families with young children and it’s a small, quiet building.

I don’t want to get too involved, but it’s really not safe if they can’t control themselves, and I now have a balcony covered in glass. What would you do?
