I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

I recently left a job that was way lower paying. I took it because my gut told me it was the right thing to do. I’ve done learned I can’t trust my gut all the time and I should have gone for the better pay.
Unless you believe there’s a job that’s perfect shiny happy people out there, just waiting for you, go for the pay, while still holding true to your values and doing something that makes you feel like you’re contributing.

Have an offer that’s doubling my TC (think a few hundreds less than a 1m). On the flip side, I have quite a good relationship with my current boss; I have shared the offer with him and I’m shocked he wants to match it. Does it make sense to stay? These are the points I’m considering:

1. Offer is in an industry w/ a better fit based on my interests/background
