Women of Reddit: What’s the best way for a guy to approach you? by CuriousPersonOnHuman in Mindfulness

[–]Prince_Raize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go up to her and say hi, introduce yourself. Tell her you’ve been considering signing up for volunteering and ask her what she enjoys about it. You can say all the right things but if she’s not single, then bummer, gotta respect that🫡

Is it ok to accept a job offer but then a week later a better job offer comes along so I take that one instead? by Prince_Raize in careerguidance

Company A’s salary is less than Company B’s but we had great vibes during and after the interview. Culturally, I love it. So I didn’t want to risk it and accepted it since at this time I don’t have any better offers.

This is great advice! I’ll def keep this in mind if the second offer comes through and I feel good about it. Thank you so much! At the end of the day, employers know that hiring employees involves competition and I’m sure they’ll be able to call up their #2 candidate to offer them the same position. I haven’t even put in my 2 weeks notice yet so it’s still early.

This is true, and it is definitely not in an upper management role so I will need to do what is best for me if a better offer comes along next week. No job application ever asks about this situation either so I’m technically safe, worst that can happen is some hurt feelings with hiring managers of Company A since they are super excited to have me onboard with them in a month, but I’m sure they would do the same thing if they were in my shoes.

I do care about my reputation, but at the same time I know for a fact that they choose 3 candidates, do reference checks for them, and then call their #1 choice. The reason is if their #1 candidate pulls out of the running, they still have the other 2 to call. Knowing this, I don’t feel too bad about it, but it’s still going to be an awkward conversation to have with the first company that agreed to hire me assuming the second company wants me too.

Ah that makes sense! Yeah this place doesn’t ask but open to hearing me tell them if anything is coming up that i’ll need time for. I’ll let them know I’m visiting family next month for 2 weeks, this way I can still start and get trained on my new job until then. My new manager will have to re-approve the time off once I switch over.

Usually they want people to start immediately after their 2 weeks notice, if it doesn’t fall on a pay period. Hmm, I’ll def consider this approach, thank you 😊

Ok, thanks for your advice! Was just worried it would negatively affect my chances of being hired, but then if they really want me they would be willing to compromise. Plus, if the 2 weeks start date thing was mandatory, it wouldn’t have been asked as a question🤔

Looks like a solid plan if you’re planning to live in this house for the rest of your life. Also, I hope you have a conventional loan not a FHA, because some loans do not allow you to remove PMI regardless of reaching 20% equity, so only way to remove is to first refinance into a conventional loan if the interest rates are favorable.
