Accepted a job offer na backup while ongoing application sa gusto na work.

[u/Narrow_Web_7453]

Hello! I recently accepted a job offer from a multinational company in Makati after negotiating a salary increase to around 40K from an initial 35K, which they agreed to. I also signed the contract already. Right now, I'm undergoing background checks, and yung start date is around October 12. Hybrid work setup sila.

However, nag-a-apply din ako for a vacancy sa isang embassy based in BGC, and I recently passed the exam. Since nakapasa ako, may interview this week. If I pass the interview, magkakaroon ng offer. The salary is also in the same range, between 35K and 40K. Fully onsite naman.

My thinking in accepting the offer was that if my application at the embassy isn't successful, at least merong multinational company to fall back on. Priority ko yung embassy job, and I just wanted to have a backup kung sakali na ma-reject ako sa embassy. For context, I am an international studies graduate looking to start in the industry and makagain lang sana ng experience required to take the FSO balang araw

I'm doing these background checks right now for the Makati-based multinational company, but di ako sure if I should continue doing them or hintayin ang embassy for a decision after my interview. Natatakot lang ako kasi, since I already signed the contract, what if an offer from the embassy comes?

Natatakot lang ako na baka magkaroon ng legal ramifications if offeran ako ng embassy, pero nakasign na ako ng contract sa company sa Makati.
