2 somewhat related questions from the question about extensions on the last page... I have 4 very promising prospects. They seem to be very similar positions with what I exepct will be nearly identical compensation packages. I have one at this moment in mind that I would chose if they were all equal, but all are viable. Assuming one of them decides I'm the one for them and offers me a job and I can kick it out 72 hours to a week, how do I handle the other side of that? 1) When and how do I tell the others what's up? How is the best way to communicate this? If I find out I am to receive a written offer, is that when I tell them I have received an offer? Do I wait until I have it in writing? Do I tell them the deadline/offer details? (I.e. Someone else just offered me X, I asked for 3 days so I could meet with you?) 2) Assuming I get two fairly identical offers how kosher is it to ask the preferred one to up their offer based on another? What is a good way to say this that isn't offensive? Is it offensive to give the other company a chance to match? Should I ask them both for 'best offer' simultaneously to not seem like a dick? From a scheduling interviews perspective, ideally I'd like my second choice to offer first... right? This makes me feel really dirty, but after working for the government for years I have 1) no practice at this, and 2) a fairly in demand set of skills, 3) have been dramatically underpaid. I know that this will set my rate for several years to come and I want to know the best way to maximize the opportunity without ticking off anybody (especially the one I eventually chose.)
