Job Offer Dilemma

No...I told them I'd need 2 weeks. The only problem is that the Florida thing might take a while to work out. I'm not sure how long it would be. I need to get them moving on that ASAP. I do think you have the right approach though. I just need to buy time. The only "problem" is that I know I would like the job in Florida and I'm not so sure that I'd like the job here...but it's still paying a lot more than I'm getting now. So the dilemma continues.

in this case here are your choices as I see them:
1) wait out the two weeks, and try to get more; push the FL job to hurry. if they are dragging their feet though, it's going to take more like a month.
2) take the local job, then quit if you get the florida job. this is a somewhat douche thing to do but it's not totally terrible.
3) forget about the local job and roll the dice
