Nope, I don’t think so. I know I’ve done it in the past. I think a few days to a week is reasonable; more than that is probably suspect.
How did you get Grey on your title if this upcoming gig is your first job?
Op - A few days to a week is totally fine. Your email can go something like this:
I’m super excited to have received this offer and be part of the great team at “company name”. However, I’d love to take a few days to think about it. In the meantime can you forward me the official offer letter, benefits package and any other paperwork I may need to fill out.
Something along those lines. Good luck mate!
Congrats! 🎉
Grey - 🙏🏻
Sad 1 - i was at grey as an intern a long time ago. Fb just never changed it lol
Yeah, you don’t have to explain why you need time to think about it. However, if you take *too* much time, you might lose the opportunity. I’d suggest talking through what an acceptable timeline would be with their HR person.
What is considered too much? So you don’t think outright mentioning I’d like some time to think about it would throw them off?
Nothing wrong with asking for time to make a considered deliberate decision. And nothing wrong with an agency pushing you to accept an offer, so they don’t waste their time while you shop. I’ve asked for a week before.
72 - since it’s my first job, I’ve never actually been in a situation where i had to negotiate. So go with me for a bit lol i was going to ask for a week to decide but that seems to be a little steep for most people apparently.
No snark here, just trying to be helpful. It’s a push/pull thing. They need to fill a spot and you don’t wanna be rushed. Don’t be scared to ask for time, just know they will want to minimize that amount of time
Sr. Art Director - Could be interning at Grey, thus it not being official. But great catch there Lol 😂
