I accepted a job at Company A about a month ago. Right after accepting, company B invited me to a final interview. Company A’s start date is approaching and as a result I told company B that I have an offer and gave them a deadline. I am more interested in company B and would probably renege on company A if offered. Now company B asked for the offer letter / email to share with their compensation team to offer a competitive offer. They said they need my name, the company name, the offer amount, and the date. I am worried they are asking because they think it’s sketchy. Both companies are FAANGs and I’m worried that company A will call company B to verify I am telling the truth. I am also worried because of how old the offer letter is. What should I do? I’m freaking out right now. I am slimy AF. Everyone said they wouldn’t ask for proof. TC 170. YOE 1
What does that mean? Would they contact company A?
You didn't lie right so what's the big deal?
I did lie. I told them I got an offer and gave a false deadline ( I gave them my start date )
Oh then yea consider it done. Lesson for next time, don't start a relationship based on a lie.
What are the offer details
I haven’t gotten the new offer yet
Ah ok. What about company B's offer?
just say you don't feel comfortable disclosing the details
Is that okay?
Google is the only one that asks for proof. Could you let us know if company A is Google or not so others can be prepared?
Yes
Am I fucked?
they need “your name”🤪
Just say you don't feel comfortable doing that. Depending on your state, you may have no obligation to do that
ask for a written email and sue them—this is how pay discrimination creeps in.
Right click. Inspect. Change offer deadline to start date. Up level yourself by one. Increase base/bonus/RSU by 30%. Change recruiter name. Delete recruiter email. Change recruiter number to your mom's number. Screenshot. Send.
Dont they call or validate in other ways?
Smart man. How I’d have handled it
