You’d have to get two offers, accept one of them, start getting onboarded by the company you accepted, learn about the OS policy, without the second offer having expired. Maybe your experiences are different but based on mine that’s completely unrealistic.
Or maybe the second offer came in after having accepted the first one. That seems a lot more realistic, though extremely dependent on timing. But the most realistic scenario is, OP already had a job. But honestly if OP wasn’t just karma farming I’d expect them to have included the full story. So I’m pretty inclined to think this whole thing is bullshit.
Well, first of all, let's be clear that most likely this post is completely fake and just as true as a meme would be. We agree on that.
But yes, I have been in that position myself, you get 2 offers within a week (which is not unheard of since, when looking for jobs, one usually blast CVs everywhere).
As you point out, the second option is looking for a job while having one... you can go all the way and then pull back noticing you are going from whatever you have to worse
