I currently have two job offers.. first with joining date within the month and the second with joining date in
3-4 months. Can I accept both the offers and keep the second job as a backup option to resort to If I dont enjoy the work/team at the first job?
Any experience with this type of scenario?
Also since I am on H1B the employers will have to file for change of employer. So is it possible to not join the company even after filing the change of employer?
Please advice..

Both remote? Keep both.

No both hybrid in different states.. I am concerened about the filing of change of employer status by two different employers.. does it have any adverse effects? Is it allowed?

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
