I live in NY and applied for unemployment in early April. It’s been over 6 weeks and I still haven’t received a payment. I’ve gone to the DOL building trying to get answers but all they say is it’s in process. I submitted all my paperwork and severance docs so nothing is missing. Super frustrated and…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve reflected on two meaningful experiences that reminded me how growth shows up in many forms—professionally, personally, and emotionally.

50k???? I don't know your situation, but October wasn't that long ago and you clearly have interest from potential employers! I'll reiterate what's already been said-accept the offer, push out the start date. Get through the interviews with the other company. If it's looking good, restate your interest in how this is the one you really want, but that you do have another offer on the table. If they want you, they will move fast.
If it doesn't unfold that way, don't worry. I've had people quit after 1-2 days or 1-2 weeks because they got an offer more aligned with their goals.
I understand that when you're unemployed, something is greater than zero, but don't make the mistake of going back to a salary you had with much less experience.
