Help needed guys, given my situation below, what should I do?
1) Already have an offer and accepted;
2) Now get a second offer with 20k more than 1)
3) Interview process with FAANG and if accepted, will get 40k more than 2)
Should I now decline 1) and accept 2), and in case I got an offer from FAANG, then decline 2) immediately? Is it like really bad?

I mean if I want to maximize my salary, then I have to be willing to burn the bridge with both 1 and 2 right?

Yes

I’m in a similar boat and worried about walking away from offer

Ahhh same situation right now. Please DM me about what you did and how it turned out:)

Here’s the thing: follow the money. Take 2 and maybe try to buy a week on your start date (if you want it), with also politely declining 1, and keep pursuing the FAANG process. If you get FAANG then take that and politely decline 2

helpful

Would imagine the smart play is to ask for an extension on 2 while trying to accelerate the process on 3 so that you can ultimately make a decision (or have one made for you by 3) without having to accept and then go back on a second offer

The FAANG final interview is tomorrow and right after that I will let the recruiter know that I have 2 offers

smart

I think we all know the answer to this question.

Can you send me ‘only’ 20K? :)

If you are looking to maximize comp. do so but also factor in components outside base pay:
- differences in retirement contributions between firms
- insurance premiums/coverage
- paid leave, etc

Dang..not trying to be selfish but what did you study and what is your work experience..I’m guessing data analytics

Major and group??

Can you send a recruiter my way?

What is your base. 20k before taxes may not be material enough

You accepted an offer for 5k more while in the market with two other active interviews?

5k is immaterial after taxes, this is where you created the issue. You can 100% go back on that weak offer but recognize you're burning the bridge.

Please DM me about what you did and how it turned out...in a similarish situation and can’t figure out what to do
