Key quotes
· 3 pulledThis last time around finding a new job was the first time in the 15 years of my career where multiple offers have actually lined up in spacetime such that I had to decide between them.
I’m sure I could have made this happen before if that was the goal but I’ve always tried to be selective with the companies I apply to.
As everyone has already told you I’m sure, this is a great position to be in when negotiating your offer.
