Not really in this case. If you go to the job you like saying that the shitjob offered you 2x the salary... and they call your bluff? Now what? Take the shit job you are not going to take? For that you could have bluffed with an empty hand anyway.
- Zenbit_UX 7y agoI was condoning lying about offers or salaries on offer, just that having more offers signals a perspective employer that you're a desirable candidate. I've heard of companies asking for proof of other offers so saying so and so offered me 2x is a very risky play if untrue.
