Is this a KeyBank type firm?
The firms I'm trying to accelerate are a bit above KeyBank. The firm whose offer I am trying to leverage is below Key - I think it's actually a pretty solid firm, but has no name recognition due to its small size.
Def doesn't hurt to try. An exploding offer is an exploding offer. As long as it's not BGL or Tobin & Co., you should be okay. Might as well ask you know
Why is BGLco so bad? They are NOT the firm I got an offer from though. When reaching out about an exploding offer, should I say which firm the offer is from in my email to my contact?
If it's a lower tier firm, but same position, I would simply say: "I'm reaching out as I recently received an exploding offer for another IB SA role. Nevertheless, I'm fully committed to this process, since I've enjoyed my previous interactions with XYZ and the overall culture of your firm. With this being said, would it be possible to receive accelerated consideration for this role?"Now, you might get away with not disclosing the name of the firm and having the process accelerated, but more often than otherwise, someone will ask you who's the offer from.
Just say you have an exploding offer and then tell them what it is if they ask
I'll put it this way, leverage is leverage regardless of its size. I've been involved in recruiting within my firm and seen candidate A lose a spot to candidate B simply because candidate B has an exploding offer. Confirmation bias is alive and well in corporate America, and while your current offer might not be a direct competitor to your firm (at least from a recruiting standpoint), it shows that you are in demand (demand in a different talent pool, but demand nonetheless).My point is that if there's even a sign of a credible threat and the bank likes you enough, they'll try to bring you aboard before anyone else does.
