Hello all, I have an offer from Quantiphi and another famous travel company which is building a technical arm for themselves. Both the companies are offering same compensation. HRs are calling for offer acceptance. I am leaning towards Quantiphi as the culture is well known to me.
But I have to decide soon. Should I accept both the offers and then decline one at the time of joining. I am new to this and find this a little unethical. Can someone help?

Do a one hour test. Write something and edit it within that hour and see what sorta useful output you can get. Extrapolate that out to ten hours and figure what's a good rate. If you do 500 words an hour, at 10 hrs a week, that's 5000 words. At even ten cents a word that's 500 usd. Pick more like 20 cents a word and it's 100 usd an hour/1k per week.
