What would you do if you accepted a job but have an opportunity for a better one?

Some of you that are following my search for a new job know I have accepted a great opportunity with a University with higher pay and good benefits. I’m set to start in two weeks. After being a temp for one year and no benefits this is pretty amazing.

Anyways, my top choice…very well known school The Ohio State University requested to do a digital interview for a first round. If selected after reviewing my video interview they will want to meet with me.

What a good dilemma to have but very torn for me. Two great opportunities but OSU’s position is in line with what I like doing such as traveling, recruiting, the name brand itself, higher pay $5,000 more than what the university I will start at is hiring, and benefits are about the same but OSU is a tad bit better.

Is it bad if I did a video interview and pursued this opportunity even though I accepted another? Am I being greedy?

Advice from my sisters say it’s bad to burn bridges. My friends say to do what’s best for me and it’s about what advances my career.
