I’m potentially in a bit of a pickle. I interviewed for company A on a Friday. The next Thursday, I phone interviewed with company B. Same day, company A made a solid offer with a 48 hour expiration window which I signed on a Friday because I didn’t have an idea if I’d hear from company B. Company A has been doing a background check for the past week, during which I had an in person interview with company B. Interview went well, may get a better offer (105k vs 120-125k, perhaps more) and may be much better for my career in the future (super innovative tech and I’d be jn on the ground floor, company will most likely go public and I’ll have stock options)
Assuming B offers me a job that meets my expectations, Is it incredibly unethical to let company A know I received a better opportunity and rescind my acceptance?
I will have a second interview with B’s CEO. If he does make an offer, I thought about expressing my interest but being upfront about having to rescind A’s offer to accept B’s. And if he is okay with that and it doesn’t impact their business, then I’d accept. Is this too extra?
Note: both companies are biotechs focused on gene therapy, but completely diff platforms and end applications. Nevertheless, the community is small.
