Also, even in this competitive job market with so many options, finding the right job is like finding the right life partner. It can take several job switches before you end up at a place where you want to spend the "rest of your life" (like 8-10 years).
I don't think anyone is arguing that you should never change jobs or try to get the best deal for yourself. What I was saying is that a. You shouldn't accept a job if you aren't serious about joining. b. If you do change your mind you have an obligation to give your (prospective) employer an opportunity to work out an alternative plan. If you have joined, that means giving notice and if you haven't, it means explicitly refusing the offer. That has nothing to do with relationships -- it's simple professionalism.
