Have you ever started a job and then after you started, left (or considered leaving) when one of the companies you were already in the interview process with came through with an offer? How did you decide to leave, or stay put? Do you have any regrets or advice?

Never stay somewhere out of guilt or some perceived obligation. Companies have no loyalty to employees and will lay you off without even blinking. Don't give up your ideal job for them because they won't hesitate to do it to you. Tell them you appreciate the opportunity but realized you made a mistake and move on.

You need to do what’s best for you.

Personally, I’d give a little more weight to the company that offered me first. But if the other company offers me 15% or more above the first company… bye! 👋

That’s business. They’d do it to you. This is your life and happiness, for then it’s just business. The impact of the decision is much bigger on you than them, and then they can hire someone who really wants that role.

I left for better pay and benefits. Who wouldn't? I stated that I got an offer I couldn't refuse. I never looked back, but didn't burn bridges. It's all business.

I know more than one person who got an offer and it was either rescinded after they gave notice at their previous job or were laid off within 2 weeks of starting. Most companies have no loyalty to you.
Don't screw over the manager. But don't screw yourself out of some misplaced sense of loyalty or "morality."
