How to respond to a new job offer. Hint: practice your poker face ♥️ ...

Pro tip, when you're being walked through a new job offer, don't give opinions or agree on anything right away. Be courteous and say you'll wait to get the written offer, then take at least a day to go through it. If they're pressuring you to sign quickly, you can respond politely with something like this. I appreciate you want to get this over the line, and I'm excited about the opportunity, but I don't make decisions without taking the time to review the details. All I need is a day or two to go through it, and then we can follow up. The best part about a response like that is it shows you considered decisions carefully, and there's really no arguing with it. If the company continues to push, play the family card. Say, "I need time to discuss it with my family, as this isn't a decision that impacts just me." And if that doesn't work, run the other direction. Alright, my little oysters. Want more senior negotiation tips? Hit follow, and I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
