I had a good interview today at a great company. I want the job. But....I had an interview yesterday and they seem like they want to hire me. They told me to call
them tomorrow. They asked when I could start and I told them Monday. I was thinking to take the job and start on Monday but what if I get a call from the job I really want?
It seems like its all or nothing, either nobody calls for weeks or all of a sudden I have a few options available which makes it very difficult to decide.

My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions.
