Ultimately the start up will want to know you are passionate about working with them, so if you go work for them and sit there thinking of greener pastures and wondering what if then it will impact how you feel about the job in the long run. It's worse to start, get trained and then leave anyway, way bigger waste of everyone's time. I would suggest you talk to the startup, if they really like you they will tell you to do what's right for you. Ultimately you may go to the other job and not like it and you will want to keep the door open with the startup.
Do what’s best for not what’s best for the company you work for. Let them know what happened and go where you want to be.
Take the job you want. Your job contract is not a legal agreement. It’s your life, make the decision that’s best for you.
In your shoes I’d accept the position I wanted and tell the other company what you’re doing and they will understand.
Take whatever job you want more. Honestly just remember that this is corporate America and they will have zero problem cutting you at either company if they need to and do and what's in their best interest. Do what is in your best as well.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it unethical, but it's definitely poor etiquette. When you said you thought you lost the job you wanted, does that mean that they initially rejected you, then changed their minds after they couldn't get the candidate of their choice? I'd consider it a red flag to be jerked around like that, and would much rather go with the company who was excited to have me from the start.
That's still not a great sign because they didn't respect your time. Sounds like they had another candidate they wanted and strung you along until they got a decision from them. If you had been the top choice, you would have gotten at least a verbal offer within a week of your interview.
Ultimately it's your career and the choice is up to you, but I wouldn't accept an offer from a company after they treated me this way.
Go with the company thrilled to have you join them. I bet it will be a great time. And that dream job, or one like it, will likely still be around in a few years if you're ready to exit the rocket ship (whether it soars or crashes)
It's never unethical to do what's best for you!
Take the job that is right for you. If you want to the second job way more, go for it, BUT, as someone said above, take a good hard look at why they took so long to get back to you - it could definitely be a red flag and maybe you don’t actually want that job so badly after all.
Well why did you think you lost the preferred job? If they only giving you an offer as a last resort, that means you'll be the first person they think of when it's time to trim the fat.
You owe these companies nothing. I say go for the one that is best for you. It is not unethical or too late to change your mind. It iis a business decision and you have to do what is best for you at thte end of the day.
How much time do you think company one would take to nix your contract if they needed to?
