Just received an offer from a company (yay!) but have also been interviewing for another (more senior) in-house position. I know there is at least one more round of interviews remaining for that position. What do I say to the initial company so that I can finish interviewing with the second company? What is an acceptable amount of time before accepting/declining the first offer? I would really like to see if I get a more senior offer, but don’t want to lose the initial offer.

Tell the second company you have an offer in hand but are very interested in this role and you were wondering if they can get you an answer within a week. If they say yes tell the other company you need a week to decide.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
