Anybody ever accept an offer, continue interviewing, get better offer and then have the first company match the competing offer after accepting?

That's different, Acn 1. OP described accepting an offer, then going to try and get a second offer from a different company, then go back to company 1 and try to negotiate up

That seems like a good way to lose the first offer

Haha is it? Jw

If you've already accepted the first offer, indicating that you're planning to renege on it is not a wise move.

OP I have seen quite a few people do it. Usually you have a week or so to sign the offer with the new company. You can let ACN know you have an offer and will take it unless they can match it.

Con1: thanks for the clarification. In that case I defer to yours and mck1's response.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
