I took an interview at another place because they reached out, but I know I’m not going to accept an offer from them if I get one. However, I’m wondering if I can leverage their offer against my current agency to get more money? I really love my current job and don’t want to risk anything, but I also want to get paid more if I can. Is it worth it? Have you ever done this before?

Any advice here is appreciated. Thanks!

Absolutely. I once had a boss who encouraged us to interview elsewhere yearly so we had a clear understanding of what we should be paid at all times. I’ve used a higher offer to get a pay bump on several occasions.

This worked for me and it paid off. But it’s risky for sure

Go for it! If you're a good employee, they might try to negotiate an offer with you and if not, congrats, you have a new job!

Yes. Always use an offer from another company as leverage.If your current company wants to keep you they will match th eoffer.

If you're underpaid, always look for a switch.
