Hi all, asking on behalf of my SO. He’s currently in a backend engineer security role and wants to move into an infra related one. He’s in talks with his manager about moving internally in his current company but that is still in discussion. He just got an offer from another company for an infra role but they need an answer in the next week. How do you guys suggest he push for a decision from his manager about the internal move. Should he tell his manager he has another offer?

I covertly freelanced with another agency on a project that recently won a Lion. Reviews at my current agency are coming up. Should I use that award as leverage to get more money?

Additional context: I went fully freelance last year for a bit. I ended up going back to full time while still freelancing on side because the offer was at a top shop, but the salary was terrible.
