Hey everyone!
Looking for some guidance here. I've been interviewing for the last few months, and the day before Christmas break had a final round with a company that I felt went well and is definitely a place I'd love to work for. Around that same time I learned another company, which is my second choice, would like to give me an offer (though it's a temp position). The following week I heard back from the first choice that things were moving slowly due to the holidays but they were hoping to come to a decision by the next week (which was last week). Meanwhile, I let the second company know I had some other opportunities I was waiting to hear back from and should have an official answer by the beginning of this week. I still have not heard anything from the first company, and it has been almost 3 weeks since my interview and 2 since the last correspondence. I even sent a follow-up to 2 different people asking for a timeline, with no reply from either (but I mistakenly left out that I had a competing offer). I'm beginning to get anxious, as I know the 2nd place is eager to fill the role and waiting on me, and I also don't want to let that opportunity go in case this first one doesn't work out...but I also don't want to give the go-ahead in case the first one does work out! Hopefully this all made sense;) Any advice on how to navigate this would be so appreciated!! Thanks in advance<3
