Decision to make

Hey guys,

Quick question that I'd love some advice on from.

I'm currently working for Company A, but am unhappy in my current role so have been interviewing elsewhere.

I interviewed with Company B a couple of months ago, but the recruitment agency made a mistake and put me in for a position that was for too senior for my experience (i.e. they wanted ~ 10 years experience). The feedback from my interview was very positive, and I was told I'd be considered if any future positions came up (i.e. the one I thought I was interviewing for...)

Last month, I interviewed for Company C, did my second interview, got a call asking for my salary expectations etc. I have a former colleague working there and he has heard they are definitely making an offer - I'm actually expecting it today. (This was all done outside of a recruitment agency - my CV was handed in directly.)

Today, recuritment agency has told me that the proper position is now open in Company B, and asked if I want to apply for it? From talking to the agency, I wouldn't have to interview again.

If both offers were similar, I would probably go with Company C. And if that were the case, I'm wondering should I bother applying for Company B in case I do end up turning them down and burning a bridge for the future?

On the other hand, I won't know if they're offer is better than Company C's unless I apply. It's a pretty niche industry so if Company C didn't work out and I looked to move in the future, Company B would be one of the companies I'd look at...

TL;DR - 1 definite job offer, 1 potential job offer if I apply. Would prefer the definite job if both offers were equal, but tempted not to apply for the potential one in case I turn it down and burn a bridge in the process?

Keep all options open until they are closed

Apply to Company B, you haven't got an offer from Company C yet. You might not be a shoo-in for B, so won't burn bridges if you're not.
