I know such a case. Some people care more, some less.

发帖数: 165 | 6 I want to be closer to my family, that's the real reason. This company is good, the people I met are nice. but the one I am expecting is closer to my family than this one.
I don't want to break the bridge, as the current offer is from a big company, I hope one day when my situation change and apply them, I won't get rejected because this.

发帖数: 629 | 7 if you accept the first one and then change your mind, you will be burning
the bridge, even if being closer to family is the reason...
try to negotiate with the first company for them to extend the reply day and
try to talk to the second company and let them know that you have an
outstanding offer, the second company should be able to response quicker. |

发帖数: 165 | 8 what is the difference between an oral acceptance and a signed one? I want
to make decision after they finish the background check, but they said they
won't do it until I accept the offer orally, then they send me one need me
to sign. I don't feel comfortable to sign the letter so soon.
the current one is really pushing, only give me several days to consider.
and the 2nd company is moving really slow.

发帖数: 629 | 9 have you talked to the second company and let them know that you already
have another offer that has an upcoming deadline? If you've already done
that and the second company is still moving very slowly, you might wanna
recosider your decision.
In reality, there is no much of a different in terms of burning bridges
between a signed offer and an oral acceptance. Why are you worried about
the background check and want to make decision after the check? Almost
everyone would pass that anyways, unl

发帖数: 165 | 10 Thanks standardgirl.
I don't worry about background check. I know it takes time, so in the hope
that I could get more days to make decision before I accept offer.But since
it is the common practice that company will only do it after I accept it,
then there is really no other way. looks like I don't have much choice, only accept the offer.
