Thoughts on how to handle a second offer from a job after verbally accepting another job. Company 1 laid me off months ago and offered me another job on the same group recently. Great work/life balance but significantly lower salary than I was expecting. Company 1 also pushed me to accept or decline knowing I was expecting another offer. Company 2 offered better package but not great work/life balance. I want to bring Company 2 offer back to Company 1 to see if they can match. Any advice welcome

Career coach here! If you are willing to take offer 2 if former company flakes, then go for it. Reach out to them and let them know that you received another job offer, but you would really like to continue growing with the company and bring about solutions in (what their biggest challenge is that you can solve). Is there any way they can meet the salary of xyz? Wait for their response. Do not tell the second company anything yet until you've made a decision. Let 2nd company know you appreciate the offer and would like to review everything and get back to the in a day or 2.

Update: I told Company 1 about offer from Company 2. During that conversation I realized they weren’t able to budge and said I am not moving forward with their offer and acknowledged my appreciation for their time. Accepted offer from Company 2 and feel like I made the right decision. Thanks all for your help!

Company 1 is showing a lot of red flags. I'd tell them since you're layoff you've been offered another position that's $10K more and if they don't meet you in the middle - take the new opportunity with company 2

So you already accepted the offer from company 1 and now you want to ask them for more money? You can try it, not really the greatest situation and they might rescind the offer or just say no. If you do it - you have to actually be willing to accept at company 2 if company 1 says “no, bye.”

Got it. Given that they pressured you into a timeline you weren’t comfortable with for taking or offer or not, I don’t expect them to come up on salary.

I think really the only way I can see this going is you ask them if they will match and say otherwise you are going to take offer 2 and really mean it. But it’s not going to be a great look for you and could burn some bridges.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
