If you have 2 offers, but one is substantially higher than the other, what is the best way to leverage the higher offer to raise the lower one? I want to make sure I am tactful in how I do it. Based on the two roles the lower one does not need to match it but I would like to get it as close as possible. TIA!

“Thank you for the offer! I received xyz offer from company x, are you able to match the total compensation? This role is my top choice so I’d be ready to accept if we can align on the comp”

Sorry 2 other things.

I prefer to make the initial ask over email instead of phone so it’s more formal (and so I don’t back down). Then hop on call if needed.

Ask them to match even if you’ll take slightly less. They probably will come back with lower TC than other offer anyway so give yourself room.
