So I recently received an offer letter with lots of $$$. But it seems like it’s going to be long hours type of job that might affect my mental health. (Lack of work life balance)
I have a final interview with another agency on Monday, and I really want that role. After the interview I want to reach out to the recruiter and let them know about the recent offer and to see if they are willing to match it. I’ve never done this before, how should I go about it? Any advice would be helpful.

I did this a few months ago, I called the recruiter and told them how excited I was for the position, but another company was offering more. I made sure to emphasize they were my first choice (so they knew I wasn’t trying to make a bidding war happen and go with the other company). “I’d be able to make a faster and easier decision if you offered me between X-X to match the market rates and my experience”

Worked great! Increased salary by about 7%

Just reach out to the recruiter that you have another offer too and would be willing to join you instead if they can match the pay. Don’t let them know straight away that you’re willing to come for a little less too.
