Yes, I did. The other offer was in another city so I used that as an excuse. ‘For personal reasons I cannot move to City x’.

They weren’t happy but we all survived. Win a couple of awards or make something famous and they would still hire you again.

I know someone that did and her defense was that the work visa process of the first job was taking longer than anticipated.

This happens all the time. You’re probably burning a bridge with that agency or holding company but this is very common.

It’s not all about the money right now, since everyone is offering me about the same amount. More so which will give me the most opportunities.

Yes I have. Its not the end of the world. You have to do what is best for you at the end of the day

Yup, and no regrets, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
