Final round interview tomorrow with a company known to make offers very soon (1-2 days) after the interview is finished. Problem is I also have two other interviews later this week for other firms I am interested in. If the company I am interviewing with tmrw comes back Wednesday with a verbal offer, what should I say/do to buy myself some time?

Say yes of course! It is a verbal offer. And even if you sign a written offer, it doesn’t mean you are obligated to proceed

Yes, you will burn a bridge by retracting.this is terrible advice.

Just say thank you for the offer and let them know you want to review it in writing and digest the details.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
