I graduated from a top uni last year and just accepted an offer for an investment analyst role with a startup company in Miami for 75k, starting Monday. However I also just got an email to set interview for my first choice company in NYC on Friday… how would y’all advise I proceed?

Ask the higher preference company where they are at in their hiring timeline and say their team (do some research) is your strong preference but you have another offer on the table and want to be mindful of their timeline.

Also PS. You’ll get paid way more in NYC.

What's the offer in NYC? It should be way higher than the first offer. If you want to build your experience first, choose the startup. If you want financial stability, then choose the NYC company.

Weigh the offers first. You can't make a decision outright if you don't know the base pay for the other offer, right? Hope you make the right decision.

Continue with first choice company

I agree. Once you get an offer I would go with your first choice.

Thanks all. I guess my dilemma right now is whether or not to start the Miami job. I’d have to relocate, sign a new lease, etc.

My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?
