So I have an offer in hand and I’m still interviewing with some other places that I would prefer to work at. In your experience, have you been able to use an offer to expedite the decision making process at other jobs? How?

I would tell them I have an offer but you're my first choice. Can you make me an offer?

like

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.

like

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!

Any tips on assessing if the hiring manager will be a good manager and person to work with?

I’d be hoping to learn a lot from them, as they would be pretty much be all of my day-to-day interactions and team. I’ve received an offer but have asked for another convo as I’m still unsure on culture, WLB and training etc as it’s a new team so no other people in comparable roles to talk to.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
