[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'd counter the offer in hand at job #1 with the salary you'd like to have, and in the meantime, go forward with the interview with job #2.

I can't imagine that job #1 won't increase the salary, at least somewhat, or otherwise sweeten the deal.

If your main motivator is money, you can continue to move forward with job #2 while negotiating with job #1.  While its not for everyone, IMO there's no reason why you shouldn't accept offer #1 while continuing to explore job#2.

[b]Yes- this could backfire. Yes- some people who object that this is breaking your word (and it is). [/b]

IMO this is your livelihood and you owe it to yourself to pursue any option that improves your career trajectory while making the best deal for yourself for you and your family.

Good luck![/quote]

How is she breaking her word? I must have missed something![/quote]

I think this poster means if she accepts job #1 intending to continue exploring job #2.
