Lookback: a few weeks after joining Company A

take Company B job for 24% raise

accepted Company A job with delayed start date, then received better offer from Company B

What I wish I knew
"considered long-term career implications and potential burn bridges"
If I could tell you one thing
"think carefully before accepting a job with delayed start date and weigh potential benefits against reputational costs"
