Congratulations on the offer! On your question: it just depends on how clear and firm YOU are in your communication. Just be open and upfront about why you need some time to make the decision, and give them a definite date for your decision. That's all you need to do.
Cheers, Sidi
Good question... I forget exactly how long they gave me (I was an experienced hired, not very dissimilar to you) -> probably a couple of weeks?
My question though is, why are you asking? Short of waiting from another MBB offer, shouldn't it be a slam dunk?
Assuming you got the offer and the question is not rethorical, congrats btw :)
Hi!
It depends on whether you are an MBA / non-MBA applicant.
Standard time will be 1-2 weeks. For MBA applicants it's until the end of spring recruiting cycle (Jan-Feb), but you can always negotiate a bit more.
Best!
Thank you guys! It's not a slam dunk just yet but I have enough final rounds lined up but spread far away to make this question relevant and probable.
Yes - I am asking about experienced hires at the consultant/ associate level that (i.e. not conducted MBA campus recruiting, I already graduated).
Want to hope that the standard is 2 weeks rather than 1..
Would love more data points!
