A role opened up in my group that would be a clear step up, but taking it would mean much less hands-on research and a lot more coordination. The title makes sense for where I’m headed, but the day to day looks less like the work I actually enjoy. Did anyone take a move like that and feel good about it later?

Leaving a gig you enjoy is always difficult. But if this promotion is going to help get your career on track for were you want it to go, I think you should make the move.

Hi
I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company. So can I accept the offer from first company and then if second one also sends an offer then let the first company know I would like to reject? Also i am on H1B visa. Should I be concerned with that?
