Have you ever leveraged two potential job offers against each other? I have a family member who says they told one company about an offer from someone else and vice versa, and they took the higher offer after giving each company a chance to increase.

I did that once, but I was leaning towards one offer more than the other. You do have to be careful with that in this market. It could easily nuke your chances from both.

Your family member no doubt handled that deftly. Depending on the timing, and perhaps some other factors, that can be a dangerous game to play. In today's job market some hiring managers may simply rescind an offer and move on to the next candidate.

I have, yes. It’s a bit of a dance and if a company doesn’t want to play they don’t have to.

I’ve been given the advice against it bc one may just move on.

Yes, it worked well. You have to be respectful about it.

Not unless it's genuine. If you genuinely want to lower paid job but desperately can't not take the higher offer, typically I tell the employer, i'm so sorry this was the opportunity that I preferred but practically I am accepting the higher paid job. I've never had anyone counter offer but I'm also in a much lower class for lack of a better word.

That’s a dangerous game some companies don’t want to play that and there’s risk

It can be tricky to do depending on timing. I had one situation like this earlier this year but one company only gave me two days to decide so the timing didn’t quite work

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
