You want to have multiple offers because it helps you leverage yourself to higher pay during negotiations, and it also gives you more choices to decide where to go next.
You want to have a offer before giving notice just so you know what's next, and obviously you shouldn't do this if you don't intend on accepting the only offer you have.
If you have no offers you can quit, but you have no guarantee of finding a job immediately and it also can hurt your leverage while negotiating.
- judge2020 5y agoThis kinda goes against what OP is against though, no? If you have multiple offer letters, chances are multiple other companies have stopped their job search (especially if they don't want to lead on other candidates).
- cercatrova 5y agoNot necessarily, sometimes companies will oversubscribe to offers, ie hand out multiple offers but only take one of them, because they know many people could decline so they don't want to be stuck with no one. Same philosophy on the employee side, not beneficial to ride everything on only one offer.
