Got an offer for job A on Friday and have a second round interview for job B on Wednesday. Is it too much for me to give job B an ultimatum after my interview for an offer by Thursday ?

Ultimatum is a strong word. I would tell job B you have another serious offer and that you need to make a decision by this week.

If they really want you, theyll figure it out

How much time do you have to respond to the job offer and do they knew you have other interviews in progress?

Had an offer on Friday- they are still interviewing so need to let them know

I have had similar situation before. I told Job B about A’s offer and they were interested and made quick moves on getting me the offer letter. Gets a bit trickier if B gives you a verbal offer and tells you they need time to draft a written- but one step at a time here. I’m sure if B is serious they will proceed as quick as needed

This worked for me once. Had an offer and talked to the agency I wanted to work at. Told them I had a week to get back to the other agency. I had phone interviews on a Tuesday. Flew out on a Wednesday. Flew back Thursday. Had the offer by Friday.

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
