Thank you so much for your advice! It really strikes a balance. No doubt I had a mix of positive and negative feelings about this at first but hey an opportunity is an opportunity. Thanks once again!

Thank you! That's what I thought too. They could have kept me waiting while the other candidate was deciding. I do feel a bit offended at first because this is basically telling me I am the second or even the third choice...Anyway, I feel like continuing the interview with the other company seems like a better move than straight up accepting this job.

Thank you!

The manager's email just asks me whether I'm still looking for a job and whether I would want to work for them, but without actually attaching an official offer in the email yet.

If I follow what you said, should I also ask for an official offer right now and tell them I will get back to them asap? Something like this: "Yes, I would love to work at XYZ but I'm currently waiting to hear from company JFK and will gladly get back to you as soon as possible, at the meantime, could you please provide an official offer via email?"

What do you think?

Thank you once again.
