Tips for delaying offers

Apr 30 6 Comments

I recently got offers (Last Friday) back from Facebook and Microsoft, but want to wrap up Google team matching and a Waymo interview before making a decision. Any suggestions for delaying offers a couple of weeks so I can actually consider everything?

I would be extra thankful if anyone can suggest how to handle the Microsoft recruiter cold calling while I am at the office instead of scheduling the call :(

Thanks in advance for the advice folks!

    Honesty is truly your best bet in this scenario. πŸ‘Œ 'I'm finalizing offers at a few other orgs and want to make the best data-driven decision. Please allow another week for me to have all offers in hand and make a decision. I should know by x date and greatly appreciate your patience.'

    Yup. Just tell them you are interviewing and will make a decision on X date. I did that with my offers. None of my offers rescinded their offers based on that. So, just be honest. But once you tell them a date, try to stick to it.

    At Meta it is usually okay to say you are interviewing with others and want to wrap them up before making your decision

      Also for other companies tell them you already have an offer that you need to respond to. They would, typically, accelerate their process
