How to stall on accepting an offer? I want to see if I get promoted at current firm first, but that’s a few weeks away. I have only received verbal offer but they seem to be rushing a decision.

Tell them you need xyz time at your firm to ensure a smooth transition. You are a key component to the success of your project and you can’t let your team down at this time. However if they can push your start date to xyz, then that would be much appreciated.

Fast forward xyz weeks later, if you get the promotion, you tell the other company your current firm counter offered and you’ve decided to stay. If you didn’t get the promotion, you jump ships as according to plan.
