Recently received an experienced hire offer I'm likely to accept. Would any of you normally let other firms you're talking with know you received an offer?
I'm not trying to get another offer out of it, but I don't want to come off as discourteous by not giving them a heads up/chance to make an offer before I make my final choice, especially where there seems to be a strong connection.

Usually the phrase "I'm getting to the final stages with other companies" is a nice way of saying it.
This way, it lets the person you're speaking with feel informed instead of feel threatened, while knowing they have to speed up their timeline. And then if you do get a second offer, it's a natural transition for you to start making them compete.
Got it. Thanks for your input. I like that phrasing.
It's normal industry practice to give your other interviewers a heads up that you have an exploding offer so they can respond accordingly.
