Dear Evil HR Lady, After what seems like an interminable period of job-searching, I finally have a job offer in hand. The salary is good (although not spectacular), but it’s a job I’m very interested in doing and it’s a good fit. I’ve known the hiring manager for years and am excited about it. However, last week I interviewed for another job which would also be a spectacularly good fit, and most likely more money. They told me I was one of three very strong candidates. I was the first of the three to interview… I have a job offer — do I tell other companies?
