To expand on that, there are two obvious forms of leverage:

- have a job that’s better the offer you get
In my experience, having the job is easier timing wise. When Company A wants to extend you an offer, you can’t really get Company B to accelerate their hiring most of the time (and pushing them might just make them say you should take the other offer).
- ghaff 5y agoIt's much more relaxing to be in a situation you're perfectly comfortable with and basically be in a position to tell someone "Make me an offer I can't refuse." Vs. being in a lousy situation, getting a very fair offer from someplace you want to work, and not wanting to risk extending/messing up things. (I've been in both. In the last case of the latter, I really wanted to just close things now and relax--and I'm pretty sure that was the right decision.)
