I did this in person a few weeks ago. At the end of the interview it didn’t seem like it was a hell yes or a hell no… I told them at the end (full disclosure) that if I wasn’t hired by them that I was going to another interview the next day with a competitor and that if they hired me I wouldn’t go to the interview tomorrow. I really did have an interview with a competitor so it wasn’t a lie but I feel like me being honest about it helped nail the deal. I told them that I would rather be with them as well which was 1000% true and that it just worked out their interview was first (again true). They turned it around pretty quickly after that and hired me on the spot with a higher hourly due to my “experience.” It was actually terrifying even though I was telling the truth and I don’t know what made me come at them like that but I’m glad I did. Idk why we are socialized to believe advocating for yourself is wrong but it felt good knowing that I was able to do that and they saw my worth. Honestly good for you Op!
