Date: April 15th, 2017 5:15 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain anyone heard of/experienced something like? would it be risky to ask for an extension? I've always heard 2 weeks-ish was pretty standard... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33081318) |

|
Date: April 15th, 2017 6:03 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain you'd actually come out and tell them you're not interviewing elsewhere?
may be a moot point as I'm pretty sure I've mentioned I was interviewing at different places during the process w/this firm but I can't imagine anyone would buy this anyway... |

Date: April 16th, 2017 2:18 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain would you reach out to the partner or the firm's recruiting person to have this conversation? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33086524) |

|
Date: April 15th, 2017 5:26 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain so how would you handle this? it wasn't an explicit "let us know by x or the offer is gone", just a "take the weekend to think about it, we would like to hear early next week"...

Date: April 15th, 2017 5:31 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain ah tried that unfortunately. thank you my friend. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33081388) |

Date: April 15th, 2017 5:40 PM Author: hideous principal's office That really should be more than enough time. You either want it or you don't. What can you possibly do with more than 3 days other than try to use their offer to get more shit from current place. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33081433) |

Date: April 15th, 2017 5:45 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain hypothetically, I could do a second interview with another firm... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33081468) |

|
Date: April 15th, 2017 5:53 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain then why does any firm ever give you more than a couple of days? my understanding is a week or two is standard practice, hence my OP. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33081524) |
|
Date: April 15th, 2017 5:55 PM Author: hideous principal's office it's standard at OCI for obvious reasons and I think that just carries over to lateral practices. firms are retarded. most companies want an answer within a few days. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33081529) |
|
Date: April 15th, 2017 6:01 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain I'm not sure if this is correct. at OCI i believe firms have to give you 28 days, so not really the same. do you have experience with this? I have several friends who have lateraled and I've never heard of anyone being given less than a week to decide. |
|
Date: April 15th, 2017 5:51 PM Author: hideous principal's office Right, so you can use their offer to try to get something better. Also, you could do this anyway. Just take the offer, set a start date like a month out if you can, and interview at the other firm. Should give you enough time (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33081510) |
|
Date: April 15th, 2017 6:04 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain wouldn't backing out of an acceptance be a much worse move than asking for an extension? this seems like a pretty reckless/reputation-ruining maneuver...

Date: April 16th, 2017 11:16 AM Author: cream sticky pit telephone just say you want to come back and meet some more people at the firm to make sure it's a good fit bc it's a big decision. that'll buy you some time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33085561) |

Date: April 16th, 2017 11:27 AM Author: internet-worthy nibblets center Have you told the other firms that you got an offer? Put a lil pressure on them too. It's always worked well for me. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33085614) |

Date: April 16th, 2017 12:39 PM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain yea makes sense... problem is the 3 days is so little time it's still difficult... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33085967) |

Date: April 17th, 2017 6:40 AM Author: floppy bright casino preventive strike 3 days is ridiculous. I recently lateraled and every firm gave me at least 2 weeks. Are you using a headhunter? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33092216) |
|
Date: April 17th, 2017 9:14 AM Author: Adventurous Mewling Hall Stain thx this is kind of what I thought. re headhunter, I am but a couple of different ones for different firms (probably a mistake, in retrospect) so this one would be losing a commission if I didn't go with the 3 days firm... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33092420) |
|
Date: April 17th, 2017 4:01 PM Author: floppy bright casino preventive strike Sucks that the headhunter can't help you out with this (or rather is incentivized not to). If they aren't explicit about the offer expiry date, maybe when the weekend ends you can tell them that you're feeling really good about the offer but you have a few more questions / are in the process of doing a bit more DD or something like that - at that point, if they are serious about wanting your answer ASAP, they can let you know. It would be weird for them to retract their offer if they didn't explicitly tell you when it would expire. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3585394&forum_id=2#33095196) |

3 days is ridiculous, sounds like their #2 choice is hounding them |
