So I have 2 job offers lined up. Both interviews went surprisingly well! It’s always nice when you have positive feedback from a company during an interview and naturally can have a conversation furthermore outside of just career progression and skills.
So I’m a little bit torn between the 2. Both of them are similar pay.
Interviewed for the 2nd one this morning. Originally I had the 2nd jobs interview scheduled for this Wednesday coming up. But because I already had an offer prior on the table waiting... I asked the recruiter last week if it was okay to interview on Monday (today) instead on Wednesday.
They were more than willing AND the interview went great. At the end, they told me that they’d reach out to the recruiter by the end of the week with a decision.
As I left... one hour later I got a call and they wanted to extend me an offer :O
I was like woah! That was quick. So I told the recruiter, “that honestly I didn’t think the decision was going to be this hard between the two companies. So I just need 24-48 hours to weigh all my options and make the right decision.”
So about 2 hours later she emailed me the offer letter and benefits package, etc.
I’m wondering, because since they knew I had another offer on the table prior to this interview... did I already “subconsciously” negotiate the salary by telling them this?
What do you guys think?
