Offer received, pending on promo/process
Product Manager here. I’m happy at my current post but career progress is extremely slow. I’m now being considered for promotion but there are no indications of what I can expect.

I have now received an offer for a company that has a great culture and would be a great fit for me and also I’m in a mid stage process for a role in Google.

Ideally I would have all offers on the table but I expect the offer want a quick answer.

Any advice on gaining time?

I would tell the company that’s given an offer that you are still wrapping up interviews with a few other companies. Sometimes people say this and the company increases their offer just so that they’ll accept. Clearly they value you, so they shouldn’t have a problem giving you a bit of extra time.

I think m1 has the most reasonable approach so I guess it's more like process of elimination. If you've gotten an offer from company A and B while still going for google (we're gonna assume in this scenario that you're not interested in the internal promotion bc who needs them! you've got better things!) then I would pick between company a and b and at least reject one of them so that's one less answer. You also have the holidays to buy you some time as well so hopefully Google will move forward a bit faster in between all of this
