Scenario: You received a job offer at the NICE Company and accepted it. You plan to start the job in a week. Two days after you accepted the job, you receive a job offer from THE BEST EVER Company with a better offer. You had interviewed months ago and had heard nothing, so you began applying to other jobs. That's how you received the NICE Company offer. Whose offer are you turning down? - This is based off an example of page 25 in Chapter 1.
