I'm about to receive two offers. Both are great places. Agency A will probably come first, but agency B is my dream job.

I will probably accept the first offer but if agency B does come through I will move forward with that one. Was anyone ever in this situation before, having to change minds on an accepted offer? how is the best way to handle it?

Use your offer with agency A as leverage for an offer (in addition to a negotiated salary) with agency B.

This is the correct answer.

Fantastic problem to have in this market! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I did last year. Luckily my agency B was independent so reacted quickly after I told them I had offer from agency A already. Also made agency B give me 30k more in cash since agency A came with good money. Congrats!

I told agency A during the interview that I’m talking to other places at the same time so they know they are not my only option. After the offer I asked for a few more things and said I need time to make the decision

Most people can’t even get a recruiters to answer an email right now and here you are getting not one, but two offers. I officially hate you. Congratulations. You’re obviously doing something right. Now if only you could share your insights with the rest of us mortals, that would be awesome.
