It was a website coordinator/intranet manager position with the provincial guh'mint (government). The thing is, a similar job has opened up with a bank in town, offering more $ and the added benefit of not having to move 2 hours away. I applied for it (of course) but the guh'mint job is supposed to be decided next week, with the chosen applicant starting before the end of the month.

What do you do if you've applied for two jobs at once and you think you have a good shot at both of them, but one position will be offered before the other one even starts interviewing? Is it bad form/professional suicide to accept a job but then turn it down if something better comes along?
