I have a “commitment to an offer” at 150-170k from a BB. They said they can’t give me the offer until Feb/March until they ramp up their current hires and figure out their budget, but the HM said the best thing I can do is to get another offer to use as leverage.

I’m about to receive an offer from a different company at 100-115k. Would much rather work at the BB (better company/position). Is it even worth me bringing this offer to use as leverage, or is the salary discrepancy too much?

Just say, I just received a competing offer I am considering and need to get back to them by x date

What is "commitment to an offer"? If they are unable to find the budget do they give you a breakup fee? If not, the commitment is not worth the digital ink/pixels its written on.

Then it means nothing really. You don't even have a document to show for it. You can claim you have a competing offer of course but you could have claimed that regardless.
