Mixed feelings for the day. I think I’m getting an offer today but it’s from my 4th choice among places I’m currently interviewing at. I’ve been unemployed for a month and still deep in the running for 3 other roles that I prefer but competing with at least 2-3 other candidates. It’s weird that I feel more pressure now than when I didn’t have any interviews lined up. Here we go.

Are you working with recruiters? If so, you should tell them about the anticipated offer. Express to your #1 that they are the #1 and ask for/get feedback. It’s possible you’re their #1 too and they won’t want to lose you. It’s also possible your not, to which at least then you can move forward with a more informed decision.

This advice for the other 3 places.

Use the "lower" offer to force a decision from the other three.

Do I just make something else up entirely?
