I am in the matching phase with a big bay area tech company. I received a verbal offer today from a smaller company, and they want a response in a week. The BigCo recruiter said it’s standard to give a candidate 2 weeks to decide on an offer. Is this true?
Depends on the size of the company. Smaller companies are likely to be much more aggressive, and need to be. 3-5 days is often as much as you can get without jeopardizing the offer.

A week is perfectly reasonable.
I agree, but I was wondering if there was in fact some unspoken standard around 2 weeks. Not sure if my BigCo recruiter is talking truth or just trying to delay things.
There’s no unspoken standard. Some places will give exploding offers. Some hold for several weeks
