..what would you do if company B contacts you for an interview?
Lets say company B offers a better salary but you like the job description of job A better. Obviously there are pros and cons to be weighed.
My concern is mostly ethical. Am I douche for accepting to interview with company B? The start date is in a month :P
What would you do? I'm looking for purely logical ethical reasons

You're a douche for asking the question on a "bodybuilding" forum.
Hope this helps.

No, it's a chick's question. If you, as a man, can not sit down in your den and make a decision in private, do both companies a favor and withdraw your application. You're not qualified. Go to a breast feeding clinic and let the babes feed from your nipple.

This is the decision that will grip getbig along the lines of the endless Ronnie/Dorian debates...
Will "haider" stay true to his moral/ethical ideals and honor his commitment to Taco Bell, or will he throw all caution to the wind and run to greener pastures at Arby's ?

Look at the big picture, remembering to consider the long-term effects of both. Never base a decision like this on just one or two factors.

Ultimately, you need to do what's in your and your family's best interest. If you like A, give it a shot. And there's no harm in interviewing at B just to see the landscape.

Neither, "Andy Griffin" you sounds like the kind of fairy who throws a tantrum when someone mixes your whites with color laundry. It's a gossip forum, bitch. 90% of the topics here are not bodybuilding related. Of those 10% are about trannies.

Simple enough answer, thanks. I think its an interesting enough topic to discuss, quite besides what is at stake for me. I never asked anyone to make a decision for me, I was curious as to the opinions on this. I'm sure others have faced similar dilemmas.

You graciously decline the interview with company B, perhaps explaining that you had come to an agreement with A before the offer from them was made. It shows integrity. Company A deserves first consideration, as they were the first to extend an offer. You do try to keep on good terms with B in case you need to move on from company A.

Contract to both.

The frustrating part is that there is no guarantee that either is the right answer. You will likely have regrets regardless of your decision. That's human nature, so don't beat yourself up over it. Give it thought, and make an educated and intelligent decision. That's the most anyone can do in that situation.

If you are concerned with "happiness" and gay stuff like that, take job A, if you want more money, go with B. You could just stay a beta and continue to work

Do what's best for you....your employer would only think on what's best for them.

Go to the interview with company B.
Remember that you are disposable to both companies. They can very easily replace you, even once hired, with someone that can do exactly what you would be doing and for cheaper.
Look at it this way...
Do you ever truly stop looking for a job? In other words, once you have a good job, aren't you constantly looking for a better job?
Even if you accepted an offer from company A, there is no reason why you shouldn't go and explore what company B has to offer. If even for the experience of interviewing with another company, it is well worth your time.
As a matter of fact, you should go and interview with company B and if/when they make an offer, tell them that you would only be willing to take it if they can offer you X amount (X amount = 25-35% more than what company A is offering you) and that they would have to cater the role in such a way that revolves around your strengths/talents.
Now, a few things can happen from this point on.
(A) They can say yes and you would have a ideal job waiting for you.
OR
(B) They can simply say no, which would then mean that you still have a job with company A and the experience would have given you a broader idea of what your going market value truly is, while sharpening your interview skills.
OR
(C) Assuming they say no to your counter, they could very well instead offer 5-15% more than what company A is offering and might be willing to make your job description a little more similar to what company A described.
In all 3 scenarios, you walk away better off than you would have been if you would have never gone to the interview with company B.
It's a win-win situation for you if you do in fact go to that interview with company B. During that interview, you will be confident (as you know you already have a job lined up), you will demand what you feel you are truly worth (with no repercussions) and you will leave that interview (regardless of getting anything) with a strong sense of accomplishment.
Go for it..

Never stop interviewing. You should go to a couple interviews every year. You never know when a great opportunity is out there and the more times you go through the process, the better you will get at it.

This isn't bad advice if you take the long-term view. This is only my second job post-graduation and I'm switching jobs in less than a year.
If you are concerned with "happiness" and gay stuff like that, take job A, if you want more money, go with B. You could just stay a beta and continue to work under Kai Greens towel cleaning toilets at the gym.
;D Are you saying Job A is located under Kai Greens white towel? :-X Don't make wiggs jealous now..
Do what's best for you....your employer would only think on what's best for them.
I'm still at a very early point in my career, so I'm not quite familiar with brutal truths like this :D

AWESOME post! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I definitely have much more to lose than they would if the positions were switched. You also elucidated points that I never even thought of. Thanks a lot man!

wtf ;D
I'm not at all familar with the symbology you used, but let me take a guess and say that you're suggesting (perhaps half-jokingly) that ethics don't apply in this case :P

The issue isn't that your post isn't "bodybuilding" related, cream puff. The issue is your pathetic need for validation of a major decision from people that you say waste time gossiping about trannies.
Hope this helps.
Bitch.

Take a chill pill man. According to OMR there's no harm in sniffing out for some Arby's :D

Have them email the HR policy on slinging dick at work. This may play a huge factor.
This ^ if you can't go in raw don't take the job.

No, lets stick with ethical because I admire that this is even a consideration because I use to think like you. I believed in loyalty and actually past up some potentially better opportunities out of loyaty. But I realize that company sure as hell isn't gong to be loyal to you. Things slow down a bit, you start to far behind a bit, someone new they think is better and cheaper... then it's out the door for you. They'll give you the sad speech and shake their head and shrugged their shoulders and say its not up to them and wish you the best and tell you they will help you anyway they can but as soon as they can get you out the door they will breath a sign of relief and get back to normal and not give you a second thought.

At least go the interview. Nothing wrong with information gathering. Sounds like you haven't eve started at company A.
-
Why the morale dilemma? You owe nothing to either one. They are not paying you. Even if you were working for them you are at their discretion. Unless they are family or friends you owe them nothing but a days work for your pay check. Go on an interview C if you want. Interview even after you choose and are working at a job.
-
Go on the interview. There is no harm in talking to anyone. Now, if they offer you a job, that is another question.
You then need to figure out the long term implications. For instance, if Job A is with a company that is part of many others, and you want to be working in them in the future, money isnt always the answer, but long term is.
If Job B is something you want to be doing in the future, and Job A won't cause you harm by not taking it after you have accepted, then do it.
As an employer, I would rather have someone tell me they don't want to start working than work for us for a month, and then quit. That is ONE month of training, teaching and investment I could of used on someone else that really wanted to work in this day and age.

you must explain >:(

Loyalty to a company in todays world is a huge mistake. They wouldvsend you packing in a heartbeat. Look out for yourself only.
So are you thinking of moving from Hamas to Al Queda? ;D
