I have two potential offers. A is too good (pay, hours, stability, perks). B is decent (good pay but not so stable, no idea on perks but the work seems cool). Despite better work I'm not inclined to go for B. It is from my previous interview experience rant. People seem shitty, or at least as bad as the ones I'm leaving.
I don't wanna accept A either because they are expecting a longer stay and right now I'm in a state where I don't want to commit more than 6-7 months to anything. 😞

But I don't have any other offers and there aren't any short term projects coming up in my search.

Ugh.

    Will it say in your contract that you must cannot resign before some certain amount of time? Is that even legal?

    @electrineer It likely won't. If it does then I won't accept it anyway.
    But I don't want to be an asshole and shaft anyone. The guys at A seem very accomodating.

    The first 6 months are pretty much the probationary period anyway (I presume), so you don’t have to commit for longer either

    Wait, why not take A?! It seems madness to me that you're not considering it.

    If it doesn't say in the contract, you're not committing to any length of stay. In my current role I've seen good people stay as little as *3 months* before moving on. We all thought he was making a mistake, but we don't hold any hard feelings. Turnaround in this industry can be harsh, and that's understating things at the mo - everyone understands that.

    Go for A, may your stay be long and fruitful, and if not, I'm sure they'll wish you the best anyway!

    @620hun Yeah that's true but it isn't like I can just yeet out after the probationary period. They said there are looking for someone who stays for 2-3 years and help them build a team. For that they are ready to accommodate me in every way they can. Heck they even offered to try to change my office location so that I don't have to relocate far. The guy is a salesman, no doubt about it but that also means that leaving won't be easy in the probationary period.

    @AlmondSauce I'm considering it but given that how accomodating they are being and how clearly they have laid out their expectations, it would a dick move to leave early. I think there will be hard feelings. At the very least if I have to leave, I would feel bad. Despite technically being right, it just seems ethically wrong. Nice people are already few and far between.

    Besides, I'm already leaving my current job in the probationary period and I don't wanna make a habit of it.

    @anux during the period, to be precise. It’s the time to decide if yous want to work together.

    @620hun technically it's true.

    I am thinking about sharing this with A. That I can't commit to a long term thing and keep on looking. If they still want me, then I can take their offer.

    Update.

    @620hun
    @AlmondSauce
    @electrineer

    I am going to accept A. Talked with the guy there and told him not to expect anything long term. He responded well to it and said that's not a problem/concern.
    I can cool for a bit now before I start ranting again.

    @anux I’m surprised they agreed to that, maybe they’re desperate

    @620hun Maybe. I can see that the guy's a salesman. I'm don't believe everything he said but if the written contract is good it'll be mutually beneficial.
