    Company A is your only choice.

    This is something you'll have to figure out for yourself. We can't tell you if you should gamble.

    I was in a similar situation a few months ago. Company A gave me an offer, at company B I had had 5 interviews and reference check. B kept calling me and promising they would decide "very soon". I wasn't interested in A, just B. Then B ghosted me. I haven't heard of them for the last 3 months. If A is acceptable, accept A.

  • Unless you are ready to take a huge risk and end up without any contract from both of the companies, I advise you to go for A. Maybe try to convince them to give you a higher salary, and even if they don't accept, I would go for them. So yes, that is the wise and less risky decision.

  • Thanks for everyone's feedback. In the end, I accepted offer A but didn't not tell B about it to see what would happen. In the end, company B did not make an offer after one more month. Needless to say, I was happy that I had opted for A. Had B offered later, I would still not have accepted it, I believe.
