Need some advice. Got an offer this weekend but due to some family stuff recently, staying in the same city is my first choice. Is it possible to use the offer to help get an interview with for a more local role? For example, reaching out to someone (partner or director) and saying I have an offer but willing to take a lesser offer to stay local?

Talk to your recruiter. Explain the situation. Don’t start off by saying you’re willing to accept less comp.

I have read this multiple times and still don’t understand the question.

Why don’t you just stay at your current job?

Still not making much sense to me.

I'd recommend setting up a call with the recruiter to see if you can work remote with travel as needed for a few months due to recent family situation (assuming it's not a permanent situation).

You don't need to tell them all your business. But if it's something like illness (covid, heart attack, etc.) or end of life planning, I would say that (without specifics) so they understand the seriousness.

I def wouldn't accept a lesser offer. They can be flexible and if they aren't, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Good luck, hope everything goes well ❤

Leverage your offer to try and change the circumstances of your current job? Maybe, tough to say but worth the shot.

Leverage the offer to help get interviews? No. Why would that work?

Tell them you need to be remote due to family stuff and see if they can make it work, or let you work out of a different office.

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
