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?

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

Hi fishes,

If I wish to join CTS only, but want to negotiate with them, on the latest offer I have with an expectation that they atleast match the same amount (if not offering me more).
So just wanted to know, whether at all they would provide me a revised offer or would they be strict enough to let me go & not negotiating at all?
