My friend has an offer from Google for Interaction Design, and a final round at Facebook. She wants Google, but wants to use FB as leverage to get more money out of Google.

How would you negotiate? Any framing tips? Does she need to also get the FB offer or can she say "If you give me max band for Google, I'll sign right now and discontinue the FB interview."

    Definite don’t randomly say “give me max band;” that’s neither here nor there.

    First she needs to decide on a hard TC number. Do some research and figure out what “max band” is.

    Then she needs to let Google know she’s trying to decide between G and F. Thank them for the offer and let them know you’ll get back to them by x date. They may initiate the “what would make you sign right now convo, at which point you pull out your max band number. Or you can play hard to get and say you want to wait for F. Judgment call there. I would go with the max band + 20% and call it good.

    In the meantime let F know you have an exploding offer from G and would appreciate an expedited decision after your VO.

    If G hasn’t already given you your max band number and F is even higher than that you can let G know your F-informed number at that point to turn the screws.

    Good luck!

  • Kind of selfish to ask tips and not share numbers, don't you think?

    She has an offer but does she have a team yet? That could take a while especially right now.

    I’d say get offers from both companies WITH teams and then negotiate. That’s what I did. They don’t move that quickly without teams imo.
