Market is really good - Sr.PM - Banking - started looking 3 weeks ago, three interviews and one offer came in yesterday evening, another interview was going to be scheduled tomorrow - was waiting for them to confirm the slot (the only one outside of IR35).
I turned down the first one who interviewed as it was a complete cultural mismatch (a very small privately owned company, and I have never worked for even the smaller banks/BSs yet so I was aware of but their IT was far smaller and Wild West than I thought - said our application support is one man with a mobile phone
).
Now I am thoroughly confused -
First preference - I am still waiting on the interview feedback from Friday, they did say they would have another round(s)
Second preference - Waiting for the interview slot, the only one outside IR35 and 100% remote work
Third preference - Interviewed yesterday and offered right after - good rate, although they indicated some office based work and there is 2hr travel involved. They already indicated a fix rate so not much leverage of having other things on
How do you bid time on agreeing the offer? Be open an honest about other role you waiting on or are there any tricks of the trade that I need to learn?
