A comment on Red Flags I Saw While Doing 60 Technical Interviews in 30 Days. Parent comment
if some company gives me an offer on day one that is good should I accept it or wait a week for some other company to give me an offer?
It cuts both ways.
> In most cases people don't actually have two serious leads to a job at the same time.
That's common for me, as I usually do a bunch of interviews around the same time when I'm interested in knowing what else is out there.
Most of the time I'm not really paying attention to my LinkedIn unless I see something that immediately catches my attention, which is rare.
> but for most people there isn't a choice.
If there isn't a choice people will decide and reply quickly, you don't need an exploding offer in that case.
