When it comes to job offer deadlines, our job is to maximize our return on investment.
Here’s how to think about juggling offer deadlines:
EASY CASE: Do I have my dream offer? Yes? We can accept the one and politely decline the others:
MEDIUM CASE: Two strong offers with deadlines: explore which is the best fit among culture, compensation, career path. Here, speaking with more people is fair. Ask both firms for more time to decide!
CHALLENGING CASE: Multiple offer deadlines and still interviewing. Here, we ask for more time – perhaps 2 weeks or more – so that we can complete interviews and take stock of a fuller set of offers. Here, tactful communication can help you achieve all of this.
