Please bear with me as I am trying to keep this generic as possible while still making sense. I am moving and leaving my current job at the end of the month and need to be employed when I arrive at my new location. Of the three jobs I applied for, I received a response from the two employers that I wanted to work for the most. Three days after applying I got an interview for "job A" the following day and a request to complete an assessment for job B. I completed the skills assessment that night for job B and the next day interviewed with job A upper management and knocked it out of the park. Today, I get a job offer pending background check from job A and a request for an interview from job B. When my background check comes back I will be given a formal offer mid next week and the interview for job B is tentatively at the end of next week. Now I would like to explore my options as much as possible without losing the chance at both jobs. What I know: From the outside without knowing details I prefer job B based on the company they represent Job A has given me an idea of what my pay will be where job B only gives a nondescript "Can earn..." figure Both are competing businesses in the same area Job B is a smaller company but appears from what I can gather to be very profitable, Job A is much bigger with more locations Job A has many negative reviews on Glassdoor, Job B has no reviews at all What I am left with is an email where I must confirm the interview date with job B. I would like to request more information but I am unsure how in the proper way. Also, when I get the formal offer from job A, how should I ask for time and if they deny that, should I accept?

Not only are they competitors but you could fart in one business and smell it in the other. They're that close. I settled upon replying to Job B asking for more information and to expedite the interview process. If I cannot get at least someone on the phone giving me general details before my formal offer from job A I'll cancel the interview. I'm obviously going to be taking the guaranteed job over the possible one. I don't feel confident asking for time to review the offer when I can't think of a single reason why it would be a "let me talk to my wife about it" kind of situation.
