困難的決定 - offer

Table of Contents

Dear All,
It is much easier to me to describe my situation in English. So, please kindly take a moment . Any suggestion is appreciated.

I have recently graduated with my PhD degree in Chemical Engineering. I got a job offer (for being a Process Development Scientist in upstream bioprocess development) from a company (company A) in Missouri. My starting date is the end of July. It is mainly about cell culture process design, development and scale up. I have experiences in this field at least 6 years (academic and industry). So, the job responsibility is not difficult to me. In order to look for other opportunities, I have asked to extend
my starting date from the end of June to end of July.

Recently, I completed two on-site interviews with other company (Company B in Maryland, near D.C. and Company C in NJ, near Princeton). Both jobs are about working as process development scientist regarding downstream process development (protein primary recovery and chromatography steps). I only have about 1-2 years experiences on this field and I really want to expand my expertise in this field. However, company B and C need about 3 weeks for making their decision. That means I have to make a decision
between A or B/C.

Here is the comparison between A, B and C:
Company Size: same
Future of company: B, C >A
Locations: B, C > A.
Cost of living: C>B>>A
Possibility for growth: C, B > A
Difficulties of job: C, B > A
H1B sponsorship: same

So, what do you think about my situation?
1) Should I decline the offer from company A? Then wait for the decision from company B and C? In this case, I would worry about the negative answer from company B and C. Then I have to spend another couple weeks to find a job.
2) Should I start my job in company A? Then transfer to company B or C if they offer me position. In this case, I would worry about it is a bad impression to company A and to my reputation. Since Company A is a big company.
3) What would you do?

Thank you all for your time on this.

其實你沒有選擇 因為bc公司根本都還沒有給offer
Tracy avatarTracy2009-07-23
要就請bc公司加快決定流程 或是再申請a公司延期

同上,也像你自己1說的, 也看你多需要一份工作吧?!
Freda avatarFreda2009-07-29
另外,你都延期上班時間,為了找其他機會,應該就沒在怕吧?!
Selena avatarSelena2009-08-01
如果B.C提供offer比較好,說不定也可以和A談條件.
Olive avatarOlive2009-08-01
重點是,你和A說了甚麼吧? 接受他們offer了嗎?
Caroline avatarCaroline2009-08-05
p大說的很對,除了跟bc公司說,你已經拿到其他公司offer
Agatha avatarAgatha2009-08-06
但你對bc非常感興趣,請他們加快決定流程
不然其實是沒有其他選擇的
Tom avatarTom2009-08-08
我同意p大的看法, 但是如果在我去A公司上班後不久,
收到B or C公司的offer,那怎麼辨
Hamiltion avatarHamiltion2009-08-10
跟 A公司說再見, 然後去B or C公司, 這樣會不會不太好啊
Elma avatarElma2009-08-13
看你怎麼和a公司簽約 如果是 at will 法律上沒有大問題
Catherine avatarCatherine2009-08-17
看看你的就業圈多大 很大的話 大概就是傷一點人品
Callum avatarCallum2009-08-21
小圈子就是以後避免見面啦 現在可以做的就是去催bc給
James avatarJames2009-08-23
offer 就擺明了說a公司給你offer但是你想要去b或是c
現在不給offer 大爺我就要走人了 如果b或是c真的想要你
Ingrid avatarIngrid2009-08-26
就有可能催出來 如果人家覺得你不是第一名 就會pass
所以沒有拿到offer不用期望太高
Robert avatarRobert2009-08-28

Mason avatarMason2009-08-31
他們group還要再面試一個才能做決定(因為已經排定的面試
Olga avatarOlga2009-09-05

Kelly avatarKelly2009-09-05
