Dealing with 4 different positions currently.
All are in my wheel house as far as benefits, compensation, industry and territory.

Only problem is they are different stages of interview process.
I'd like to interview all 4 but there's a good chance I'll be offered one or two before I can look at all of them.

Admittedly this is a good problem
to have, I'd just like to make best decision for me and my family though.

Thoughts?

ETA: For real though if they're all approximately the same in terms of what they'll offer you then I'd take the first one and be safe. As long as what they offer you in terms of a satisfying work is also equal. Taking a job you hate just because its better fiscally is often not a great move.

Don't try and leverage them against each other. That can seriously backfire.

I'd just say ask for a timeline for a response from each and if you want to wait a little bit, ask them if that is ok so you time to discuss with your family. If its not ok, I guess you have to go with your gut.

Determine which place has the hotter women. Choose wisely.

Take the job that will require you to work with the fewest number of females. This gives you better upward mobility, and less likelihood that a psycho bitch makes accusations that can stagnate or even ruin your career.

If this is something you think you will navigate better with the OTs advice, I'm left to wonder what type of position you are interviewing for where you think 4 companies will fight over you.

If they're all equal to you, just go through the process with all of them as far as you can. Try to learn as much as you can at each interview to try to suss out a reason to favor one opportunity over others (esp. growth/advancement opportunities).

good luck! that's an excellent problem to have!

Also, if they are truly all equal in benefits, comp, etc. then you can compare commute and whether or not you like the people that work there. Try to ascertain which has a better quality of life. Also, which has the best reputation in the industry you're in. That is important for your resume in the future.

shite you sound like you are awesome enough to flip the script. Set a time and place for you to interview all four of the same day. They come to you. Maybe even interview them at the same time. If they all seem comparable to you tell them to let the bidding war begin.

Are McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s and Jack in the Box really that different?
