Had a check-in with a recruiter at agency A a few weeks ago about some open roles.

Just had an initial interview with a CD at Agency B. have a round two chat next week.

Do I gain or lose anything by mentioning that I'm having 'early conversations' with this recruiter at Agency A? Does that expedite anything? Or am i pulling myself out of the running?

If it’s been a few weeks since you talked to agency A and it’s only with a recruiter, it prob means nothing at this point. Doesn’t hurt to follow up but feel like it may not do anything

totally. it's a long shot but if it comes out to the same worst case (no reply) i'll be glad to have tried. ty!

You don’t get anything by telling them you’re talking to another agency. Everyone assumes all candidates are interviewing wherever there is interest.

If they’re interested, they’ll ask if there’s anyone else you’re talking to. You don’t want to say it too early because they might write you off if they don’t think they can move fast enough.

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?

Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
