It really depends on which agency you'd want to go to if the offers were the same.

If the one that gave you an offer is where you want to be, just take it.

If it's one of the others, ask the agency that already gave you the offer for a couple of days to think about it and let the other places know you have an offer and need a decision pronto from them.

Let them know. “Just an FYI, I just received an offer from another shop I’m considering. You guys are my first choice, but I’d like to let you know that my timeline has moved up."

Hi All, I recently interviewed at Amazon and Google for software engineer and passed both interviews. I have an offer on the table from Amazon but with Google I am officially in team matching and my recruiter tells me that the queue is pretty backed up now and it can take a long time. My question is should I take the Amazon offer now or decline Amazon and hold out for Google? I have heard that Google has better wlb/benefits. But I'm scared to decline Amazon without a guaranteed job offer.
