Got a great offer today from my top choice company, but still interviewing with 2 other companies.. Should I try to leverage the other interviews to improve the offer? I need negotiating tips!

I would make sure that your offer is in range for the position in the new industry.

I took an offer that was +50% base and +60% TC but realized later I could have gotten +80% base and +100% TC.

Hiring managers respect people who negotiate with integrity, but resent manipulation. You don’t want to trade a few $k for a cloud of ill-feeling coming in

Thanks for all of the advice 🐠!

You already said it's a great offer. Just take it.

Congrats! Care to share details on offer?

Details please OP

Asking for clarification...Do you think one of the other two places will offer more than that?

That’s crazy increases. What type of role at the bank?

Yea crazy unless your salary was just extremely low to begin with

Without any data or real offers, your current offer is going to give you a big old goose egg in terms of an increase if your argument is simply that you MAY get another offer that could be more. You need a justification and if they already met or exceeded what you told them your salary expectations are, it needs to be a really solid explanation.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
