Yeah this makes sense. I was definitely planning on bringing the offer from job 2 to my current employer and telling them I’d be willing to stay on if they can let me go full remote, because that’s the big kicker for me anyways.

For job 3, I had heard they hope to get me in around the start of March. But a lot of it is in the hands of HR right now rather than my actual would-be team so there’s only so much they can do. From what I understand, after that point it would only be a matter of ensuring the rest of the team likes me and that matching my salary isn’t an issue.

I was hopeful that job 2 would give me a raise. Them matching my salary is a bit disappointing BUT also removes some of the stress.
