I only verbally accepted. The offer letter will be in this week with details about benefits and salary.

Do you know what your salary will be? There were supposed to tell you before you accepted the offer.

Op you seen either young or inexperienced (naïve) in these matters. Do as posters have said, do NOTHING at your current job until you see the contract and sign it. Why would you accept the 2nd job and not know the salary? This might have been your opportunity to negotiate. Is it a greater opportunity for you? Why do you want job #2?

Also, which company is the most stable, and offers you growth?

Until you sign official paperwork at your new job don't leave your current one.

job 2 is at Sherwin Williams and job one is a real estate investment firm. the biggest in my state. It's actually the first time I'll have a job that isn't an internship. I'm assuming Sherwin Williams is more stable

ok, this formula would be easy to follow if I hadn't just started at my current job. I don't want things to get more serious before breaking it off
