Received an offer from Amazon today and have 1 week offer deadline. But the HR is pushing me to make a decision by tomorrow.

I also have interviews lined up for Google, Meta, TikTok, Salesforce and Expedia. Some of them are final rounds but I do not have the date set yet.

1. Can I request Amazon to extend my offer deadline to 2 weeks? What are the chances they revoke my offer if I do?
2. How long do companies normally give for an offer deadline? (especially for the ones I have listed above). I need to expedite my interview process accordingly.

YOE: 6
Current TC: 180k

Amazon Offer for SDE-2
Base: 150 + 20% bonus
RSU: 100k over 4 years

    Deadlines are bullshit, negotiate harder and ask for higher TC.

      OP
      So I should request a 2 week deadline? I won't be taking the Amazon offer if I get one from Google or Meta. So I do not want to waste a lot of time negotiating.

      Deadlines are mostly bullshit like I said, if they want you you'd be able to get back, stall them, or if you're thinking of accepting in the worst case, ask for higher compensation now since it'll take some time for them to make a new offer, be ready to walk off though if it back fires. good luck.

    Notify the other companies you have a deadline on an offer from Amazon and ask if they can move up your interviews.

      Worst case - how much would you regret it if you lost the Amazon offer and the others fell through? Your Amazon offer doesn’t appear to pay much more than your current position and might be a lot more work.

    It depends on the role. If the recruiter has a viable backup candidate they may not extend the deadline. I’ve given a hard deadline to a candidate before, they missed it, I extended to someone else, they accepted and the first candidate came back and said they’d take it. I had to explain the deadline passed and I gave it to someone else. It’s ok to ask for an extension but be prepared for them to say no.

    That seems to be a lowball for sde2 if not lcol offer. That is the reason they are pushing. Let the offer expire. Worst case if they take the offer back, you ll be eligible for another offer within 6 months. Dm me, my org will be happy to extend another sde2 offer within 6 months. Good wlb and permanent remote
