I accepted a contract offer (no benefits), that time I interviewed for another company permanent role but rejected. The contract company liked me & offered more than initial discussion. Now, the other company called after rejecting & want to offer knowing I’ve signed somewhere. They said my coding didn’t meet expectations but they decided to decrease their bar. Looks like they aren’t valuing me enough but offering! Is this a flag? Do u think sticking to where you are first choice is better?

I would stay where you are uless the other company is giving you an offer that you can't pass up like higher pay and benefits. Otherwise it seems like a red flag that they are calling you and saying they decided to decrease the bar to hire you.

Yes I felt same about red flag.

None of the two companies are going to think twice when the time comes to let you go, take the best offer. Also, from the management perspective, once we know a person is willing to leave somewhere else, that mark stays in their "file", that offer is only to make you loose that offer, they probably won't offer anything else in a long time, especially because now they know you are willing to leave.

Whatever reason you had to start looking for a different job, is going to remain there if you stay.

I didn't start looking for a different job, I was interviewing both at the same time. When X offered (they really had great impression about me and offered more than initial discussion), I asked Y for feedback as that was permanent role with benefits, they rejected. So I accepted offer with X. Now after 2 weeks Y called back and now offering.

I would step back and think about each as if they had no background. Which one would you go for? Consider all the different things, long term opportunities, salary, culture, benefits. As much as I’d personally want to stay with my first choice, you really do have to consider what is best for you!

Lower bar? Screw that go with people who offered first

Definitely interesting that the company with benefits says that your coding wasn't up to par but they are going to lower their bar for you. Would your work still not be up to their expectations if they hired you? That's definitely something to think about. If the contract company pays more go for it, Sounds like it could a resume/experience builder too at the end of the day.

I would ignore the company that rejected me then lower the bar. It’s obvious the candidate they had in made turn down their offer then decided to chase after you. Go with company that like you for you…..Just my 2 cents…..🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
