What to do what to do

Recently, I just signed a letter of employment for this job which is a one year contract, company G. On the day before the contract was ready for signature, i received a call for an interview (another company).

I agreed to the interview as the offer from company G was verbal and i had to be subjected to a background check before i could start work, even though i had signed the letter but i had signed a release form that company G can terminate me anytime should my background check failed!

So i went for the interview at company H, the CFO personally interviewed me. Boy it was a long one that lasted more than an hour! The CFO was a persuasive man, somehow he managed to make me have second thoughts about company G as he threw out this main bait about work-life balance and company H being an extremely PRO-FAMILY company! In the end, the CFO extended his invitation to me for a 2nd interview!

I was in a dilemma, here I was ready to sign the contract and another potential job offer. After some thoughts, I signed the letter of employment for company G and the recruiter told me that my start date is still subjected to background check clearance! Just today, Company H (the CFO personally SMS me) and invited me for a 2nd interview. I agreed to it and the interview is scheduled 1 day before my official start date with Company G.

Seriously, I dunno whether did i do the right thing but looking at the situation, it just seems the job at company G is unsecured yet and I might not also get the job either at Company H. So, I will deem it as another learning experience coz at times in life, we are caught in such a situation too. Just wish me luck!
