Agree with C1 for the vast majority of cases but think there are some career paths (research, academia) where a professor might be suitable

Would love to stay but I don’t see a balance which would keep my family happy. What options do I have from there?

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you. I’ll explain: I’ve been interviewing with Company A for a month now and have met with GC, CFO, creatives, and today the final round with HR and CEO. I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....
