MSFT BGV has been running for ages now, and I am mid-way my NP already, until my employer spoke about retaining me.
However, this is the last week I should get back to them If I am keen.

Dear LC Community, kindly guide me. If I don't accept the retention offer, there'd be no looking back onto my current employer. And w.r.t Microsoft, their BGV has had questions raised in the process so far about me having input wrong dates intentionally, and a gap I have to basically hide a 2mon long employment that didn't unfold well.

Dilemma- I'm 4mons old in current company, it is going great thence the retention. Furthermore, I haven't heard anything from MSFT BGV p.o.v despite 30days+ already and actually fear an offer rescind. That ways, if I don't accept the retention, I'll be the ultimate loser. And if I accept and MSFT unfolds on a good note thereafter, it'd be a catch 22 on my ethics.

HELP!
