Not always. Sometimes it has a repulsive effect. Like trying to score a first date when you're already flaunting the fact that you're engaged to someone else.

- sieabahlpark 6y agoIf you (a low quality candidate) run into a FANG company with a job offer from a no-name company _just_ to create pressure it's no different than the analogy. FANG doesn't want you before and they don't want you now, and they're also repulsed about the way you tried to get them to budge. Recruiters and hiring managers are people too and the secret in the industry is most people are not qualified for the work being hired. Hiring incurs risk and the interview is risk mitigation. So if some low end candidate comes in trying to light a fire under themselves they will burn twice as bright but dismissed in a quarter of time.
- darkerside 6y agoAre you offended by the analogy in some way?
- caffeine 6y agoI don't know much about dating. My advice is about interviewing. I think it's completely different. Also your analogy is wrong - you are suggesting to go interview after you accept an offer, which I agree is off-putting. I am suggesting to go interview after you receive an offer but before you accept it.
