How to Negotiate Salary When You Have a Counteroffer From a Competitor

In this episode of Salary Negotiation with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle a high-stakes scenario: you've already signed an offer from Company A, then a competitor swoops in with a better counteroffer. Lucas breaks down the ethical and strategic tightrope, drawing on the story of a marketing manager who used a competitor's offer to renegotiate without burning bridges. You'll learn the three-question framework for deciding whether to reopen negotiations, how to phrase the conversation to avoid looking disloyal, and why timing—specifically, the gap between acceptance and start date—matters more than the dollar figure. Luna pushes back on whether any company truly forgets you entertained another offer, and Lucas shares data on how often renegotiated offers actually stick. Plus, practical scripts for the awkward phone call. If you've ever wondered whether you can leverage a late-breaking offer without tanking your reputation, this episode is your playbook. #SalaryNegotiation #Counteroffer #CompetitorOffer #CareerStrategy #JobOffer #NegotiationTactics #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #OfferLetter #Compensation #Renegotiate #EthicalNegotiation #Leverage #CorporateLoyalty #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
