Will FB or Google ask for offer letter as proof of competing offer? Worried about negotiating .. if I exaggerated a little
I don't think they'll ask but trust your word. That's a guess though
bad mistake
If it’s extremely out of band yes. If not, they’ll take your word. Also, G and FB don’t give written offers until you’re agreed to terms. They’ll give verbal offer first. Nothing stopping you from saying you have verbal offer.
Don’t do it.
You didn't "exaggerate a little", you lied to your potential employer. I hope they find out because that's a huge red flag.
I didn't say I did it was a hypothetical situation 🙂
Hypothetical 🤔 might as well ask for a friend. Lying is not a great way to start off with a potential employer. People often don't realize how bad they are at lying and give off small tells. Just get real competing offers.
Depends on where your morales are.
To all those dating don't exaggerate pay, is it purely for moral reasons or do you think it is bad career idea?
Likely moral.
Yes they will. They asked me for proof, i didnt bs them so it worked out. Without proof they told me the competing offer “cannot be considered”. This was G.
Google asked, Facebook didn't for me.
Dont lie.
