For the first time ever, I have two offers and am about to start negotiating with both. But I’m not sure if I should mention the other offer with each company. Would disclosing another offer actually help with leverage, or does it just annoy the hiring manager?

In my opinion sharing that you have another offer can really backfire. It really annoyed a hiring manager when I had an offer in hand verbally from the HR person after simply inquiring if they could match a different offer, the hiring manager decided to rescind their verbal offer and I never got the formal offer.

I highly recommend you just focus on what you want with the existing job and not tell them why you have a different offer. You can indirectly use the other job info in the back of your mind to negotiate the criteria for the job you want

If they were crying because another company also thought you were good enough to hire them that’s a company you don’t want to work for. They’re just whining they don’t have all the leverage. Tell them to kick rocks

Choose the one that works best for you. You have to be willing to take either offer, and I’d negotiate without bringing it up at first.

Really depends on how you do it. If there is one company that was a little lower that you would prefer it doesn’t hurt to say “hey I’d really prefer to work here but I have a competing offer for x amount more. Can you come up to get closer to it?” But I wouldn’t go back and forth more then once and also would find a way to frame it so it’s not only about the money.

In the current market there are a.hundred qualified candidates stacked up behind you. I personallybwould lean into my experience and knowledge to place me higher in theor range rather than trying to oit one offer against the other.

Hi everybody.
Right now I’m working as a junior product engineer in Amsterdam. From januari on I’ll be a medior product engineer. And now I’m in the middle of negotiating about my salary increase. The salary that I’m being offered feels low (41.5k).
Is there an other product engineer that could tell me if my gut feeling is right or not? Thanks in advance!

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
