I was unemployed from May—November of last year due to COVID. I interviewed with two companies at the same time, and company A ultimately had to put the position on hold due to some internal restructuring. Company B offered me a job, so I felt obligated to take it. Is it something I'm good at? Yes. Is it something I enjoy? Not particularly. It was a classic "bird in the hand" situation after applying for 500+ jobs and 100+ interviews.
Here I am, ~100 days into this job that I'm pretty good at, and company A reaches back out to me to continue the interview process. I keep crushing the interviews and today I received an offer for the job, yay!
This particular role helps me build a skillset I've been wanting to develop and happens to pay me 20% more in salary, plus loads of reimbursements, 401k and even vested stock options (I think they're called restricted stock options, I guess I can buy 18,000 stocks that vest 4% in 5 years or something like that).
Even though I'm so new at the first company, should I accept this job offer? What would you do?
Looking forward, will this look odd on a resume? What am I not considering?
