"Whichever gives me an offer first"
not hard
Thanks. But I wouldn’t. I’ve said this before myself and this is a good answer at any other time. Problem is that 1) I prefer 1 team over the other 2) the other team can hear my response.
That’s why you answer this way.
If you say “your team,” then the other team in the adjacent room may not give you an offer. If you say something ambiguous, they’ll assume it’s not them … which is risky, if the team in the adjacent room doesn’t want to give you an offer right now. Any answer other than a (more polished) “I like you both, thrilled to have an offer from either, will take first I get” very clearly alienates one team or the other.
If you decidedly prefer the team in the adjacent room, so much so that you’d jeopardise the relationship with the team you’re sitting across from in pursuit of that offer, say something along the lines of “I’d have to evaluate ….,” but know that this will be interpreted as an unambiguous “not you”
