Have an offer in hand at company A, but I’m still interviewing at company B that is my top choice. Offer expires this week at company A. Do I accept and renege if things work out with company B? I’m not too worried in these circumstances of burning a bridge, but I know in house is different from private practice. Any advice?

I would accept and then renege, if necessary. You don’t know whether the opportunity at Company B will pan out, and I’m sure that Company A has a backup candidate in mind in the event that you don’t pass the background check, etc.

Hmm

Just ask A for more time. You can also tell B you have a pending offer but they’re first choice. If they want you, they’ll speed it up

I did, company A said the most they can give me is end of the week. Company B is expediting their process now so I’m cautiously optimistic, but I’ll take the initial offer if they don’t come through.

I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.
