Seeking advice. I’m currently in the final round between company A and B. Company A is the job I really want and based on hiring manager’s feedback, I’m a top candidate for the job. I have no intention of taking an offer from company B, even if I didn’t get A. Should I just drop out of my final round with company B? Or is there value in keeping the interview to leverage with company A?

Continue with B. If offer for B comes in higher you can use it to negotiate with A.

Thanks. Appreciate the perspective.

I wouldn't back out yet unless I have an offer from A. Company usually has multiple finalists, so you won't know until you actually get the offer. If you are sure that you won't take B even if you don't get A, then, there is no point of continuing B. Then, just focus on A.

Fair point. Thanks!

Get both offers and pitch them against each other!

That’s awesome! That’s motivating to hear

Another thing to consider is declining an offer can be a little bit like bridge-burning. I have had a few candidates decline my offers, and I will think twice before giving them another chance should our paths cross again (and they often do in my midsize city).

If you really wouldn't accept B under any situation, then respectfully remove yourself from contention. I wouldn't play offers against each other unless you are happy working for either. A might decline to negotiate due to their budgetary constraints, and then you end up in a tough place. If you really want to go with the competing offers strategy, then actually get two competitive offers (i.e. you would be happy with either offer).

Another thing is the final round for both companies will most likely occur during the same week and they’re for vastly different positions.

What are the 2 roles?

Company A is a completely different role from what I’m doing related to business expansion. Company B is the same thing I’m doing at PwC.
