hired me to start? I have a job offer, but was wondering, if i do accept and then my other Interview goes well and they also give me an offer, lets say 1-2 weeks from now and this offer is way better, then what would you do? Cause I don't know. I don't wanna accept the job and then quit 2 weeks later, but also I wouldn't want to reject the offer because the other job might not be offered..so yeah I want to make the right decision basically. Like they called me today saying they need an answer by today but then I'm stuck because my i was suppose to go for another job interview. yeah i can reschedule my interview earlier that day..but still my question is as I first stated..what if the other job was offered and i was already employed by another employer. What then?

You need to decide if the job you have an offer from is the job you want, and want to focus on. If not, then you need to be brutally honest to yourself and your future employer and let them know that you need to finish up your process in order to make a good decision. You can tell them that they are the employer of choice, but that you want to pull all doubt off the table and finish up your interview process.

The danger in taking this "high road" approach is that the company that offered you a job may pull the offer, also continue to interview, or hire their second choice.

You should also tell the company that you are interviewing with that you have an offer that you are considering, what the salary is and anything else that is important to you. You need to give them the opportunity to say "okay, we are still interested and can be competitive with that", or "that's more than we could offer at this time". This information will help you make a better decision.

Lastly, I've had situations like this happen to me as a recruiter interviewing people. When someone isn't honest with me about a situation like this, it causes me to remember them and not consider them in the future. And recruiters talk to each other across company lines as well and without breaking the law will comment on people that have not been a good candidate.
 
If you accept the first job, you are making a commitment to the employer. Best to stop interviewing. Or, you take your chances by not accepting and hoping the other company pays better. If the first job is one you want and a good path for you, then take it and stop looking around.
