That's a puzzler. My instinct is to generally take what's guaranteed. But if you really want to move to a prestige firm, you may want to stall the less prominent outfit for a while. But that can be tricky, it may set the wrong tone with them and you may need them if the other doesn't work out in your favor. I don't know that informing the prestige firm of your other offer will make any difference, and it may come off oddly. Curious what others may think, but I'd go with my initial instinct and take the offer you've got in your hand.
Sign it. You can reneg. (However prob never work there again) sometimes ya gotta burn a bridge….. 5-10year from now it won’t matter.
what are the timeframes? do you have to accept the non-BB offer within the next few days? i’ve used an existing offer before as leverage and it has worked out in my favor. the least the BB could do is give you an idea of when they may expect to have a decision for you
I think you simply tell the BB that you have a competing offer that expires by the 17th. you don’t need to ask them for an immediate decision but they should be able to provide some guidance on when you can receive a decision. if you don’t hear by EOD Tues/mid day Wed accept the offer
You can sign the offer letter and the back out later if you get a better offer.
Honestly I would probably stall or sign now and back out later. You may be able to get them to give you a little time in which to review the offer and hopefully the other company will come back in the meantime.
