What’s the right protocol for when you have a job offer but are interviewing at a couple of other shops? Don’t want to lose the offer if the other jobs don’t work out.

The offer usually has a deadline. If you’re more interested in one of the other shops, use this offer to push them to make a decision on you.

Reach out to recruiters at other places you’ve been interviewing at and let them know you’ve received an offer, but are open to other offers. They might make a better offer if you’re a quality candidate. You know never know - it’s worth a try!

Recruiter unfortunately didn’t give me a deadline. Should I email him and ask?

Okay. That’s helpful, thanks.

at the end of the day you can alway reneg in an offer. meaning that if you accept an offer and a better one comes up, take it. of course you might burn a bridge so burn wisely. do you want this job? the one you have the offer for?

The one I have an offer for is more of a backup job. I’m broke so I want to have a backup in the pipeline.

First - better to go direct to network or hiring manager. I’m 22 years in industry and have wasted thousands of hours with recruiters but have always found new gigs without them. Second, you gotta play a game. Tell one that you love them but that the other agency is making a generous offer so you’re hoping they can do better. Hey it’s a good market for job seekers. So be kind but assertive and get what you want not what recruiters want.

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management.
