I am looking for advice/best practice on how to handle discussions and negotiations with a potential employer.
I've been in discussions to take a role with a potential employer. The discussions have been extremely positive and very strong indications of interest is being shown by the potential employer. An offer, however, is yet to be put on the table by the potential employer. As a next step, I've been asked to meet group heads for an overview of the businesses.
- At this stage, can I approach the potential employer and ask for a formal offer before meeting the group heads?
or,
- Meet the group heads for the overview and then wait for the offer?
Would appreciate feedback on the best way to go forward towards a positive outcome.
