Be reasonable -- it is not a good idea to set ultimatums unless you are willing to walk away Remember -- a job offer can be pulled if the employer feels they cannot meet your requests Juggling offers is tricky -- do not get caught in the trap of pitting one offer against another If you communicate “this is what it will take to get me to say yes” -- say yes if they meet your requests
