What's the consensus on telling a company I'm interviewing with (my top pick) that I've got an offer from another company (I'd take this job if the other one doesn't make an offer)? Is there any possibility this bites me in the butt and the top choice company says see ya?

Tell your #1 that they’re your #1, but you have another offer on the table.

Is the offer from #2 a done deal ?

if it is, then the worst thing that happens is #1 passes

I always tell someone I'm in the final stages somewhere else. It indicates they need to move a bit faster if they want me.
