I've been with current employer for over 10 years. I applied for two jobs, different companies. I had three interviews with each of them. I prefer job with company A because I've been servicing their customers/ working with them for 10 years, the job is also exciting and has lots of opportunities for advancement but they just told me we are finishing phase 2 of interviews and things take longer. Company B position is OK but they'll probably give me offer this coming week. How do I handle this?

I’d thank Company B for the offer and ask for a little time to decide, then let Company A know they’re your top choice and you may have another offer soon. That way you buy time and keep both options open without rushing.

I would wait and see what kind of offers you get. If you get offers from both I would take option A. If you don't, I would take the offer you get in this job market.

I actually had my 4th inverview with the company I would like to work for but I was told last Friday that we are at the stage 2 and now will be entering stage 3 and the VP I interviewed with had to interview a couple of other candidates. He said they should get back to me in a week or two. The other company B - I had a third interview last Friday and they said they will get back to me this week. I told company A that I was interviewing with another company as well so they told me to keep them posted. I will send a Thank you email to Company A manager and will let him know that I am expecting to hear back from Company B this week.
