Job asked if I have an offer before they make an offer or they’ll just keep interviewing people. They’re unicorn fishing.
When telling them about competing offers, always say its verbal!!
🫣🙏🏼👏🏽
This is good. I’m going to use it lol
If I lied, I write one up, and send it over. Put up or shut up.
Did you google a template a stick a company’s logo in the header?
I’ve only had to put up on a background check, I made up a W-2 for proof of employment.
I didn’t lie but I wasn’t asked to show it either.
If you lie, atleast use good grammar. With that grammar anyone would be suspicious
Please correct my grammar oh grammar god. Please fix it and attached it down here. Please! I no sa-peaach gud gran-mar
"i dont think that would be respectful to the other company, scuse me bit"
Yeah. Last time I did had another verbal offer. I didn’t want to let them know the content or the company and they didn’t make much of a fuss about it. Just now I don’t have an actual offer
Tell them you have signed a NDA. Trust me. Nobody bats an eye at that.
Google has been known to ask to see the actual offer letter during negotiations. My friend had to show his Meta one last year. It worked, he got like 70k more/year in stock. But they asked to see it and the negotiation service he was using said that Google had started to do that, but not common at other companies. They mentioned it doesn’t happen all the time at Google either, but it happens.
Hold up. What negotiation service? He had someone else negotiating on his behalf or coaching?
Curious about the service too
I have provided actual offer letters and proof of current outstanding options/stocks in the past. The hiring manager needed to get the VP approval for my offer. Don’t lie. It’s not worth the trouble.
Some companies make you sign an NDA the moment you start the interview process with them.
It's true that certain companies are unicorn fishing. If they know you're available and that you have an open-ended timeline for accepting an offer, they'll keep interviewing until they have a new BATNA or extend an offer. I finished final rounds with a company and, because I wasn't planning to leave anytime soon and was passively looking, they kept interviewing other folks and then told me 2-months after my last interview that they had a candidate who was a better fit. Realistically, if I told them, "Hey, I have a competing offer and need to make a decision by *x* day", they would probably have had to speed up their process lest they lose a good candidate. Doesn't mean I would have ended up with an offer from them, but it probably increases my odds.
You’re probably right. Statistically your odd decrease with each additional candidate they will speak to. It’s better to get a decision now then wait forever.

What do you think is wrong with a kid who got rejected by 9 colleges?
Most recruiters ask for the competing offer if the difference is large.
