It can be very difficult but you are right, you do have the most leverage then. I just do the best I can to get some time to ponder the offer while waiting to hear back from other companies.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me.
