Been interviewing with other agencies. Just found out I got offered position (Manager) with a pretty competitive salary ($90K). But I had a GREAT interview with another agency that I think I might favor more. The other agency wants to move forward with me and have me speak with another person on their team but they are OOO this week and are aware of the $90K offer. I have until this Friday to accept the $90K offer but other agency is willing to offer more pending 2nd interview. Advice please?!

I think you tell the first agency offering the role that with the greatest respect you want to honour the process and finish up the other interview before you can make a decision. If they say no and that they won’t wait then they have played their hand wrong for the market we’re in and are offering insight into how they will be to work for. I have had 2 candidates do exactly this (ask for time to finish up an outstanding interview or an existing employer discussion) and I’ve granted it (even though I really don’t want to lose them or sit around waiting) and both times they have chosen to work with us as we have been respectful vs strong arming them. It speaks to the culture of the business.

If you don't feel comfortable asking for a few more days to make your decision, then accept the offer. If the other firm comes in better, rescind politely and professionally.

Oof bad form.
