[quote=Anonymous]I have a 2nd interview with a hospital later this afternoon for a medical social worker position.  I have another job offer in hand and while I have accepted, I haven't signed anything and wouldn't start for another 3 weeks.  The company recruiter asked how aggressively I am looking for a job so I shared that I do have another offer.  The recruiter said that she would get the ball rolling with the supervisor who was just waiting on her approval to officially interview me (she already completed a phone interview).  I got a call literally 10 minutes later and they are stream-lining the interviews so the next two interviews will both be this afternoon. The supervisor seemed extremely positive and I think I have every reason to be optimistic about this position.

They sent me their benefit package info and I'm doing a comparison with the other job offer and they line up honestly really very well with their benefits.  The only drawback to the hospital position is that their paid leave is not as good as what I'm getting through the state.  I will lose all 14.5 paid holidays and my time off is really very precious to me as I have a young family.  It looks like it is possible to take some unpaid leave for holidays and it may be possible to accrue more than the 27.8 days of annual/sick leave if I work overtime but I wonder if it would be helpful to try and negotiate for extra leave if offered the position or would you negotiate to extra pay to compensate?  How much extra pay would you try to negotiate for?

That's really my main issue as this position would be literally 3 minutes from home (I could technically walk it or bike it!!!) as opposed to a one hour drive.  They are both great social work positions. [/quote]
