I’ve seen many posts about asking for an extension to an offer deadline, but that’s not quite what I’m asking. I’m expecting to receive an offer after getting one of those “want to share good news 🥴” emails from a recruiter after an on-site. However I am currently waiting to start team matching with Google after passing HC and I want to have enough time to get through it.

Would I reasonably be able to ask for 4 weeks to decide from this other company? 3?

    If it’s a big company 4 weeks is probably fine, small company they’ll probably give you a week and allow for a week extension on top of that

  • Even big companies give you a tight deadline too and sometimes exploding offers. Doesn’t hurt to ask but I wouldn’t bet on it. One thing you can do is you can schedule your follow up call as late as possible and when you get the first numbers, take as much time as you possibly can and counter it with a higher number so they go back and get new numbers which may take another day or two. But even with that Google won’t come back to you in time because they are notoriously slow.

      Yeah the issue is Google won’t speed up unless I have an offer and I technically don’t have that offer yet

    • I gave them a competing offer so they expedited the HC review process but they don’t extend an offer until after team matching and I’m stuck in the team matching stage so I had to let the other offer expire. You may have a different experience but I’ve heard many similar stories as mine.
