Save the signed letter for future reference.
Trust me, if you don’t, you may have a problem in the future and then you’ll be missing what you need to keep yourself out of hot water.
4If you have more than one offer, think about your long term goals, values, beliefs, where you believe you will be happy and successful.

5
Leverage each offer against each other.
If it were me, I would tell each employer, “I have an offer with the XYZ company. I want to work here and I’m wondering if you will match their offer?”
6This is an expert move.
If you have 2 or more offers use each offer to help you get the most you want at the job you want.

7And money isn’t everything.
Though it can sometimes seem to be. Consider which one is best for your goals? Which one did you align with best? Compare /Contrast salary, benefits, location, work environment, ability to grow, etc.
8You can accept an offer if you’re waiting on another!
Finally, if you get one offer at Google and really want another opportunity at Microsoft but they haven’t offered it to you yet, accept Google. If you do get an offer at Microsoft later, you can always quit Google after you accept Microsoft’s offer. Again, you can consider leveraging these 2 opportunities against each other.

Deciding Between Multiple Offers? Consider These Factors
1. What are your values and beliefs and which one aligns best with those?
2. What are long-term goals and which one would allow you to accomplish those?
3. Where do you believe you would be happy and successful?
4. What are both offers like? (Compare and contrast salary, benefits, location, work environment, ability to grow, etc.)

The way we do business is changing, so now is a good time to take a step back and really think about what you want out of your career. Leverage each offer against each other. You
may say something like this to each employer, “I have an offer with XYZ company. I want to work here at ABC, and I’m wondering if you will match their offer?” This is an expert move. If you have two or more offers, use each offer to help you get the most you want at the job you want.

Remember
Make sure you have the other offer in writing. The company may let you go when you try to leverage without anything in writing. You never know!
