I’m hoping to get an offer from Salesforce soon. They reached out to me about working there (through someone I know). I dont have any competitive offers because i wasnt looking. My current job is my comparison and negotiation tool. Can I use that to negotiate an offer as effectively as a competitve offer?
Competing offers help but difficult to time them. I have seen offers rescinded because the candidate took too long waiting for a competing offer. Nothing personal, we had a role to fill. Keep a minimum number in mind, and be willing to walk away for anything less. Beyond that, negotiate best you can. Good luck!
Why not
I read here about a lot of people who are asked if they have a competitive offer when negotiating an offer.
That's only for Google
