Between jobs and been interviewing this past month. Trying to time everything to finish up at the same time and thats been going good, however, I started the process with my first choice (Company A) slightly earlier than the others and it went really quick--they really want me. Should be getting an offer from Company B early next week, finishing last phase with Company C and Company D with offers for at least one coming later in the week. The initial offer from Company A is underwhelming (178k base/25k RSU per year/40k bonus), especially in terms of base salary. I'm fairly certain either C or D will get me the base I want and then some. I took a pay cut to go to a startup previously which didnt pan out, and prior to that was getting a chubby base at a large tech company. My goal is to get my base back-to-or-better than previous large tech company before considering RSUs. My question, should I just give Company A specific numbers (inflated from my actual target) and offer to sign now if they can meet them, or go through the process of collecting the other offers and have one round of bidding? As stated Company A is my choice and I'm only really pursuing B/C/D in an effort to juice A's offer. YOE: 11 Updated with initial offer and past TC. Note this is for non-FAANG + non-bay area, no interest in either Current TC: $0 Previous startup TC: $185k/18k bonus/pile of worthless options Previous-to-startup TC: $214 base / no meaningful bonus or RSU
First, you can wait for as long as company A is willing to give you. Often, offer letters have expiration dates. Outside of that, it’ll depend on how bad you wanna work at Company A, if it’s your top choice. You always have more power in negotiation with multiple offers. They’ll go higher than they say they can, otherwise. I’ve experienced this
Thanks. I should have mentioned A's offer is totally just a first verbal offer. They know and are totally cool /w the fact that I'm interviewing elsewhere and want everything to finish up before I make a decision. I suppose they know they're going to have to do some bidding?

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
