Ok, here's the situation:
Back in March, I was let go from a job. In my job search, there came a position I was extremely interested in, and they were extremely interested in me.
Unfortunately, that position came down to a "timing issue" and the guy doing the hiring told me that they would call me when the position opened back up, but he didn't know when that would be, if at all. He said it could be two weeks, or six months, or two years. He just didn't know.
So I kept searching for a job. I started a new one about a month ago.
Now this other position (the above one that I am extremely interested in) has opened back up. And they offered it to me. I verbally accepted, but haven't gotten a formal offer or "welcome aboard" email, so I haven't submitted my official resignation yet. It would also be a $10,000 jump over my current salary.
The problems are twofold:
1. I feel kind of bad only being there a month. But the tech stack that they're using is VERY old.
2. Both of my bosses (or, probably more correctly, my boss and his boss, I'm not quite sure of the hierarchy) are out of town for two weeks this coming week. One is actually based in the out-of-town city, the other is in the major city where I work.
So if I get my "welcome aboard" email on, say, Monday, how should I handle turning in my resignation? I was thinking about a simple email, but I'm having trouble with coming up with some good wording, too. But neither of my bosses are in the office, and I don't want to put the other job "on hold" (i.e. make them wait) until the boss that's out of town (not the one based in the out-of-town city) gets back.
Advice? Thoughts?
