I verbally accepted a job offer today from company X, and now I'm waiting to do the background check when they send me an application. I still have my final interview for job Y on Wednesday, but it doesn't have a start date until August 28th. If I get the job Y, Is it shitty of me to use job X as financial buffer until job Y starts? Both jobs seem like they would suit me, but I like job Y more, and it pays $3-5 more depending on my shift.
I have not signed any official job offer for job X by the way.
Go with company X. Around August 10, ask for a $3 raise. If they say no, give two weeks notice and go with company Y.
