I just started looking for a new job. The first place that I interviewed for seems to want to hire me, but I'm not certain that it's what I want. I don't want to commit without looking around, but am also nervous to pass on an offer. I've already had first and second round interviews and now they want to chat about how I'm feeling about the role. But I'm also waiting to hear back on another interview where the position sounded more like what I'm looking for. How should I respond?

Do you have an offer in hand?
If company A gives you an offer, it take and tell company B that you have an offer. Tell company B that you are still interested. You are willing to push back company A’s offer but can only do it for a short time. Hopefully the company B will provide you an offer quicker.

All about leverage

If possible, keep looking.

Give me an opportunity

Should you discuss salary range with an internal company recruiter prior to setting up an interview? With external recruiters it’s pretty easy to talk about the expected range.
