Client came back to me today and said 'the candidate they offered the role to was messing them about so they withdrew the offer (any of you lot ), they asked was I still interested', I said yeah so contract in the bag.

Only thing that is putting me off is I dont like to be 'second choice' as thats how they are going to see me / think about me if I start, not sure now I want it, should I,

1. Shut the **** up and take the gig ?
2. Not take the gig, being second best is not good ?

Now is the time to strike oh glasshopper, or mablee a rittle earlier, you should have told them you had another offer of X+10% where X is the original offer that this crowd offered and X+10% is what david carraidine would get paid not to shave his head and wear that redecerous swim cap

I've been second best once before. It was one of the best gigs I've done...

Second Best? More likely that the first bod was cheaper, but tulip, or something like that. Well done!

It suits the England manager (or to be fair, he was third choice).

Take the gig - the first one found something else. They still want you, and you want the gig, so it's a no-brainer really.

Congrats!
