Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

If you were to turn this offer down would there be a chance of you wanting to work for that same company in the future? If not accept it and keep interviewing, if you land something better accept it and rescind the offer you already accepted. Worst case scenario you’ll be black listed from applying to that company again!

Range in the salaries wouldn't be that much of a difference form each other. You should ask yourself if you have a good chance with the other companies and if in case you will not be accepted to any of you applications do you think you can face to reapply for that same company who fist gave you an offer? Get some experience so you can negotiate for a higher salary the next time you apply.

I would ask them to match - or be open and say that you are evaluating other offers and push for more time. They may end up bumping it up without you saying anything!

Hi all, need some advice here, like a lot of others here, Google is definitely a dream company for me to work at.

Also, what are some of the key skills that are utilized extensively in these roles, which google considers a great asset?
