Has anyone resigned without an offer to make a career change? What was your story? I'm on month two, several interviews, but no offer.

I got laid off. Used that opportunity to make a career change. Took me about 6 weeks to find what I was looking for. Much happier place today. Good luck! 👍🏼

Took 8 months off to spend with family. Wasn’t so much a “career change” in that I went from audit to accounting advisory. There was definitely some explaining to do during interviews but in the end, got offers from the 2 big 4s I applied to, as well as smaller firms with a 40% pay increase. Went with the smaller firms as the “prestige” doesn’t show up in my bank account

Hi everyone - I made it to the final round of interviews with Amazon for a Program Manager position. They initially asked if I would relocate and at the time I said yes - however, due to my husband’s new job I’m no longer able to relocate.

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions. How bad is it for me to accept and then decline if I get another offer? The other companies would be paying 15-30k more and I feel like that's way too much to give up especially right out of school. I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)
