I recently received a conditional job offer from a government position that I'm really excited about. A friend who works there referred me, and after four months of waiting, I finally got the offer. However, there's a catch: the offer is contingent on my current employer being contacted for a reference check. They want me to give my notice before they reach out to my current job, which makes me really nervous. I love my current role and the pay is good, especially since I'm going through a divorce and have no savings to fall back on. I'm worried that if I give my notice and something goes wrong with the new job offer, I could be left without any job at all. I really need to figure out how to handle this situation. I want to move forward with the new opportunity, but the risk feels too high right now. Any advice on how to navigate this would be greatly appreciated.
