your offer at another firm is expiring soon, is it standard practice to name where you have an offer? Or is it best to just say that I have an offer expiring on X date?
Also, if the firm where I have an offer is considered more selective/has a significantly higher vault ranking, would that increase my chances of getting an offer at the pending firm if I were to name it? Both firms are satellite offices of firms that generally do the same type of work.

"I really didn't like you when I interviewed you, but now that you have an offer at WLRK, I really like you." That's cute, but doesn't happen.

Definitely wouldn't hurt, but 9/10 times OP would be talking to recruiting, who couldn't care less about the firm's name except for statistical purposes.brotherdarkness wrote:I assume OP wouldn't be trying to get an offer from the less prefftigious/selective firm if (s)he would rather be at the firm (s)he has an offer. However, if OP tells a V100 that (s)he has an expiring offer from a V10 and then says why (s)he would rather be at the V100 for some legitimate reason, it might be helpful. At the very least, I can't imagine it would hurt.Fresh Prince wrote:"I really didn't like you when I interviewed you, but now that you have an offer at WLRK, I really like you."

Re: When asking a firm post-CB to expedite because
OP here. One of my CB interviewers at pending firm is the hiring partner, and he specifically told me to let him know if i was on time crunch if any other offers or deadlines came up. But he obviously didn't say whether I should name names or anything. FWIW, offering firm is a v40 and pending firm is a v100.Fresh Prince wrote:Definitely wouldn't hurt, but 9/10 times OP would be talking to recruiting, who couldn't care less about the firm's name except for statistical purposes.brotherdarkness wrote:I assume OP wouldn't be trying to get an offer from the less prefftigious/selective firm if (s)he would rather be at the firm (s)he has an offer.

Re: When asking a firm post-CB to expedite because
I'm not sure what the issue is here. Yes, you should inform firm that you're in a time crunch, and you should only say firm name if asked. No, I really don't think saying the name will make a difference.
