I have a opportunity but I’m not sure how to maximize it or even have the conversation. I’ve been approached by two different companies to take senior designer or higher positions. I wasn’t looking and I’m very happy with where I am but people recommended me and a recruiter reached out. I’ve chatted with both and one wants me to interview next week. The other wants to have another chat and “try to make the job more shiny to me”. How can I use this to gain a bump at my current job?

If I were in your shoes, I'd consider what you need to bounce and what you're willing to accept to stay in your current job. If the offer is fair, and you're willing to leap, talk to your boss about what you need to stay. Tough decision depending on how long you were there. Good luck!

I saw this other post on here about never accepting a counter from your current employer. Mainly because they'll see you as somone willing to leave any chance you get. And they potentially don't put you on projects that are more long term. Is there any truth to this?

Sure, that’s something to consider, but they still need you enough to make an counter offer right? Them wanting you and you staying based on a counter is negotiable. “I want more X opportunities”, salary increase, promotion, etc could be a contingency right? Just keep it respectful and professional.

Hello everyone
I have already accepted the offer of a company X and completed all the onboarding formalities. Meanwhile, I received an offer from another company Y which is giving me more fixed and joining bonus.

My joining is a week away so I really need your input.
