In May, I interviewed with a company and was told I’d get an offer, but the role was put on hold due to restructuring. They recently reached back out, sent an offer, and I accepted.

Now, another company I’ve been interviewing with invited me to an in-person interview with their executive team this Friday. I’d prefer this job since it’s remote, while the one I accepted requires an hour commute. I’m scheduled to start the accepted job next Monday. What should I do?

Start the new job while still interviewing for the other job. If you get an offer, let the commute job know and tell them thank you, but no thank you. A lot of new hires don't always work out, it's not the biggest deal in the world. You should do what works best for you and your career, not just stick with something because you agreed to it.

Go to the interview and see what happens if you are serious about the potential to pursue it. I wouldn’t say or do anything to the offer you already accepted since you don’t know what will happen yet.

Do the interview. You have nothing to lose and 2 hours of commuting to gain.

Hi all! I've got an SEO question I'm hoping someone can help with:
How do you choose keywords to target in a blog when you're writing a blog that appears on multiple country specific versions of a given website? Do you use a mix of keywords from each region/country in one blog, or create different versions of the same blog with slight keyword differences based on the country?
Feel free to DM me if you want! thanks in advance from an entry level content marketer. :)
