I have a job offer from Company A and a higher offer from Company B. I really want to work for Company A. What should I do?
It would seem like an ideal situation to pit one offer against the other and weigh your options, but don't disclose that to companies you are applying to.
According to washingtonpost.com's How to Deal columnist Lily Garcia, "It is in poor taste to try to leverage an offer to obtain a higher salary from another employer." However, she says the higher offer does give you a sense of what you might be worth and this can help to guide your negotiations with the first company -- without disclosing the other offer.
If it truly is your dream company, most job seekers are willing to accept a lower salary, Garcia says, but if there are some other constraints that are preventing you from accepting that lower offer, you can make them aware that you need to make a certain amount of money in order meet your mortgage payments, for example.
Here's a suggestion from washington post.
