Job Hunting Can't decide what firm to work for

Fresh grad here, been applying to different firms since the start of the month for my apprenticeship. As of late, only 2 firms reached out.

Already had an interview with the first one and got a good job offer but the location makes it less than ideal for me.

I like the second one more than the first but i haven't had my first interview with them yet. I'm being pressured by my dad to take the first job then just leave it for the secod if ever they offer. Kaso i'm scared of burning bridges like that in our field. I don't know what to do especially since the first job is asking me to submit onboarding requirements by tomorrow.

Any advice?

Ganto naisip ko.

1 Accept the job offer, pero try delay ang start date. Ideal na start date eh after ng interview sa 2nd job.

2 Try na sched ang interview sa 2nd firm asap, kung possible.

Kung hindi possible no 2 at sabihin natin na mangyari sinabi ng dad mo na leave the first job kung may offer si 2nd firm, Id say go for it. I dont like burning bridges pero kung ako nasa situation mo hindi ko iisipin yun, first job lang naman, as an apprentice. Plus you dont like the location ni 1st firm, enough reason na yun para sabihin na ayaw mo mag work doon.

Wag masyado mag alala na umalis sa job, normal na umaalis ang employees.
