👋 Hi @yousefhamza,

Maybe you could use the same logic as [this workaround](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/workaround-run-jobs-sequentially-regardless-of-the-outcome-of-the-required-jobs/40807) 🤔

In your case though, the loop in the `waiter` job would be slightly different:

```auto
      - run: |
          until [[$(curl --location --request GET "https://circleci.com/api/v2/workflow/$CIRCLE_WORKFLOW_ID/job" --header "Circle-Token: $CCI_TOKEN"| jq -r '.items[]|select(.name == "job1" or .name == "job2")|.status' | grep -c "success") -gt 0 ]]; do
            sleep 1
          done

```

And then your workflow would be:

```auto
workflows:
  version: 2
  build-test-and-generate-binary:
    jobs:
      - job1
      - job2
      - waiter
      - job3:
          type: approval
          requires:
            - waiter
      - job4:
          requires:
            - job3

```

With the above configuration, `job3` will start as soon as either `job1` or `job2` finishes successfully.
