Name changing regular.
I am in a bit of a pickle. I'm a trainee solicitor due to qualify in September. My firm hasn't yet made a firm decision about what jobs are available and who will get them (it's way more complicated than that but can't elaborate really).
I have therefore been attending interviews while I wait for my firm to decide. I attended one today and I am fairly sure they are going to make me an offer.
I do not want to turn down an NQ role without any others on the table, but I'm not sure really if this is the firm I'd pick first if I had other offers.
Can you accept an offer and fanny around with the paperwork or even accept in writing and then reject? I don't expect they would sue me but it seems a nice place and I don't want to burn any bridges.
Should I tell my current firm if I get an offer and hope it expedites things? Or would that look back that I have interviewed elsewhere?
