I would tell them I have an offer but you're my first choice. Can you make me an offer?
This.
Yes. I just got through speeding up a second offer. I just was transparent that I had an offer and I had a response deadline. I framed it as I want to be transparent about what’s going on but also respectful of the timeline provided to me by the firm whose offer I had in hand. The second firm understood and got me an offer.
Well done! That’s exactly how to handle it.
Yes. Same as A1. Keep in mind that internal processes are sometimes restrictive of what the hiring partner or team can do. Also the more senior you are the more challenging to expedite what’s already a very robust process.
Literally going through this right now. I think they did try to expedite things, but the process was still overall slow (too slow), so now I’m in an awkward spot. If you know your top choice (and they know they’re your top choice), hopefully your process will go a lot faster than mine!
