What is the best thing to do after interviews if job 1 is still pending a decision and job 2 immediately accepted me but at significantly lower pay?
Job 1 is a big shot career job, and I like the responsibilities and day-to-day it entails. It’s a dream job. The pay is much higher (ranging from double the salary of job 2 to perhaps triple).
Job 2 is an easy job that usually requires certifications that I don’t have, but looks like I’m being considered at this particular place due to a coincidental need for an immediate starter and assuming that my transferable skills and similar experience sufficed for an interview.
I have interviews lined up one day apart from each other, and I anticipate job 1 will need time to think about me and get back to me later (idk how long that will take). I anticipate that job 2 will take me on the spot.
How do I navigate this in a way that’s best for me while also being professional to all?
