Background:
- I planned an international vacation for April. Walmart approved the time off as PTO (unlimited PTO), while Capital One requires me to start after the vacation (Walmart has an earlier start date).
- I secured a room for $1,000 in California (a 35-minute commute without traffic, 1 hour with traffic), while my living situation in Dallas remains uncertain.
- I have upcoming on-site interviews with Meta, Amazon, Google, LinkedIn, and others in late March and April. However, I need to respond to Walmart and Capital One this week.
Which offer should I accept? If I accept an offer now but later receive a better one, reneging is an option but could burn bridges. I can’t extend the acceptance deadline any further.
