A comment on Ask HN: Wanna use Job offer to get a raise.
1. Tell current job that she wants a raise to $85k.
2. Negotiate with new offer to get them to $85k (or even $95k).
Don’t offer discounts for staying. Definitely don’t tell the old company about the new one.
This is a great high leverage situation to be in if you’re an employee. But only if you’re willing to use that leverage and accept some risk.
