How would that even go? "I'm fielding offers from other agencies, and although you're my first choice, I need to be smart about this as I don't to miss out on an opportunity elsewhere...in case you're not in a position to bring me in right now." Whew. Even tying that makes me feel nervous. Obvs I've never been in that (hot ass awesome) position. To those who have: is that the language you'd use? Also, wouldn't mentioning salary "I've received a higher offer elsewhere" make you sound like a Dick? Again, I don't live in that world, but I'd like to learn from those who do. 🙏🏼

Def use it to press the other agencies. Great position to be in

I suppose either, but your issue seems to be about timing not perks

Depends how far into the interview process you are. If you’re waiting on other offers, you can definitely light a fire under their asses with the offer you already have.

CW1: usually the recruiter will ask if you’re interviewing elsewhere, and you can say yes. And then if you’re waiting on an offer, but have one from another shop, you can tell your point of contact at the flaky agency that you have an offer you’re considering. If they’re interested in you, it’ll hopefully speed things up. Then you get to disappoint someone!

Might as well see if they’ll give you some time. Also, could be an opportunity to press other shops to shit or get off the pot

@bbdo 1 & @SC1 press as in timeline wise or leverage for pay/benefits?

Went for an interview to meet the whole team at a possible new job. Met with five different people, but have not heard back in 3 days. Are they collecting the feedback...or am I being ghosted?

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.
