<prompt> Human: I have been actively interviewing at companies A and B, where I interviewed at company C through a recruiter two months ago. I believed I was out of the running at company C because the recruiter called me two weeks ago and told me they went with another candidate.I just got a call from company C asking me to start Monday with the original terms discussed two months ago, but I would much rather work for companies A or B, which are dragging to push along the process. Furthermore, company C would not send me the offer letter unless I agreed to accept it. This leads me to a scenario: Do I accept C and dump them if A or B comes through? Will that get me blacklisted? Do I pass on C in hopes that A or B come through? Do I go back to playing Skyrim?Any advice would be appreciated.  <response>: company C would not send me the offer letter unless I agreed to accept it. MASSIVE red flag here. I want you to sign this contract, but Im not going to let you read it. Also if a company reaches out to you this urgently youre in a huge position to negotiate. Lastly, with Employment At Will - if you want to accept company C and wait until A and B get back to you - youre free to do that. You do have to realize that if you screw company C you can never work there again and probably wont be working with anyone who works there. If youre willing to accept that cost, you have that option.
