Got a better job offer 2 months into a new role. I hadn’t told the company that I already took another role. What to do now?

2 weeks after I started my job (end of June), another large company in the same industry I had applied to back in April reached out about a more senior role with better pay (~20-30% more). I interviewed with 3 VPs, then they went quiet for 3 weeks.
Today they reached out saying they want to make me an offer. The thing is, the resume they have is from before I started my current job, so they do not even know I am working somewhere else now. They told me they want to put an offer together and are essentially asking me to provide documentation on whether I’m walking away from bonuses so they can make it up with a sign-on bonus. I would be walking away from some money (maybe 20k) but I am more concerned about the optics.

Should I come clean and say I just started somewhere else (and try to add the bonus stuff to the offer) — or choose not to mention the bonus now and only bring it up if asked? This new role feels like a better fit, although I still would want to talk again with the hiring manager and possibly the skip mgr to understand the stability of role, given they went quiet for so long.

Any insights you have (either from hiring team, interviewee, or recruiter) on what I should do would be appreciated!

Very Noob question: First year here that has done DD for a couple of deals representing the seller now.

Specifically, what does the buyer do with this? It seems like these provisions should trigger but nothing then happens...

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.

I just had two of the weirdest interview. I was interviewing for a payroll systems mgmt role and the first guy was a finance mgr and he didn't ask me anything. I basically interviewed him. The 2nd interviewer was the hr systems lead. She had read my resume and was super weirded out that my current role is the same as hers. I think she thought I was interviewing to replace her. She kept asking me what I would be doing. Like dude, do you not know why you are even interviewing me? Hard pass.
