If you tell your agency that you received an offer to see if you’ll receive a counteroffer, are you expected to reveal who the offer is from and salary details? Or should you just tell your manager you’ve received an offer?

Just keep in mind they 100% can let you walk.

Only tell them if it’s a place you wouldn’t hate working at.

Don’t reveal agency/company. Talk to your manager you received an offer, and if they like you, they’ll ask is there anything they can do to keep you. That’s when you go into salary details AND benefits.

They’ll definitely need to know the salary details, otherwise how could they counter (if they want to). I wouldn’t necessarily offer the salary up front, see if they ask, but always be ready to walk in case they don’t counter.

You could say you’re leaving for a bigger increase in pay and not be specific unless they ask, if that is more comfortable to you, but if they want to counter they’ll have to know what the amount is. Or tell them up front, I’m getting a 30k bump in pay and can’t turn it down or whatever.

Yeah, playing this game certainly isn’t without risks.

I cleared my technical round, after that they gave me an assignment, which I also completed.
Now they send me an invite for product manager round. What will be the questions asked in this round?
Stack - Software Test Engineer (Automation and Manual)
Exp: 3.8 Years
This one for startup.

Thoughts on sending out assignments over the weekend? I work a lot on weekends, but I don’t expect associates too. But, because I work on weekends, I often will send out assignments by email with a clear indication in subject line and body that it does not need to be completed or worked on over the weekend. A friend recently mentioned this isn’t the best since seeing the assignment may create unnecessary stress and anxiety. So, what say you? Am I terrible partner?
