I'm in a tough spot right now. Had 2 offers (oil and pharma) , declined pharma. But then regreted it and asked for it back.
They gave it back to me and manager had me to promise him that i'll join them this time and he said i should join them 2 weeks, no negotiation allowed. I agreed on his terms.
But yesteday i've received offer from top consulting firm with higher pay and i always wanted to work for that company and in consulting.
Should i here keep my word and work for pharma now and then after 2 years apply for consulting firm again? or should i decline them twice
I do love my job and I do love being able to help people via the Q&A - sorry for that :) (Q&A takes me about 30 minutes a day...BCG taught me to work quickly!) I do still stand by what I said - I understand your instincts but I will repeat that this is a very bad way to treat an individiual manager/boss who took a gamble on him and is not a good precendent for one's professional career (Note: there is a clear disctiction between his situation and one where you receive a 2nd amazing offer after accepting a 1st offer from a massive conglomerate via HR).
