I have several job leads and I’ve been interviewing since March within the same company. They have been slow getting back with me and I just received a call from a job I applied for two months ago. Now that I have a potential offer elsewhere, should I stay and wait it out or go to the tech company for a new start?

How badly do you want to work at the first company? 4 months is a long time to string someone along, and there's really no guarantee that you'll get an offer. Personally, I'd go with the new company.

I think venturing to this new opportunity would be the move! Especially to learn even more skills

It depends on if you have the time to wait. For me, I would go somewhere else. When places are slow like that it shows me they don't really want me.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I now have 4 job interviews lined up with external organizations! Currently looking at healthcare insurance, med tech start up, adv. primary care, and hospital ops. I’ll be sure to keep y’all updated on my progress!

Not that badly sadly, I’ve had some bad experiences that have made me cynical toward the organization. Especially when I was told I’d receive a call the next day and 3 weeks later I’m told by one down that I didn’t get the role

On top of that, I had a colleague tell me I appeared meek to those who interviewed me and she had no parts of dealing with the interview…

No no no! Bad sign! Take new offer ASAP

Quick update:

I expect to get offers from my current company and an external company! I am expecting the offer for the company I’m at to be around 75k. I’m not sure about the other company, but I would be a business operations and excellence coordinator. How can I negotiate to ensure I receive a fair/higher offer from the external company?

Just popping back in to let y’all know I got an offer today with a new company! The job is remote and I’ll be making 80k! I was originally was offered 75k, but negotiated up to 80! Thanks everyone for the encouragement to leave my job! Now to the exit conversations 😅
