An offer and a potential opportunity

by khaledreda . Updated 19 years, 5 months ago

I’m currently working in company A, and I recently made an interview in company B. I’m very interested to go wotk in company B as they do offer a much better pay, and because it’s also telecom company (like company A) which is a field I’m really enjoying working at. The problem is company B didn’t yet call me for another interiview. I’m not sure this is because they don’t want me or because they’re slow in their hiring. I called them to ask about the status but they said they’re still not sure and they’ll call me back if they want to proceed.

On the other hand, company A is offering me a good higher position with a slightly better pay. But they said that since it will need much training and investment, so we should have a gentleman agreement that I don’t leave the position or the company for the next 3 years for them to have a suitable ROI. The problem now is I don’t know how to proceed. I think I have these 2 options:

1- Wait until company B calls me for another interview, and then see if I’ll join them or not. If not then I can re-negotiate company A offer if it still exists.
2- Accept company A offer now regardless of the feedback I will get from company B.

What do you think? Shall I proceed with option 1 or 2? Or are there other options?

K.
