Got sort of an exploding offer on hand. Verbal only so far and requiring decision by Monday pretty firm. Have 3 more processes ongoing in mid-late stages and expect to wrap up probably next week. Gut feeling is I want to take the company who gave the exploding offer though. Any advice on how I can respectfully wrap up other processes/ask for extension?

They gave you a verbal offer (not even on paper) on Thursday and want you to commit by Monday? Unless you are a newly minted undergrad, I would ask them to go fly a kite

If it's a verbal, just say yes and wait for the paperwork? If it's not in writing it didn't happen. Also, make sure the numbers, and benefits are accurate. If not prolong it with negotiations.

Yeah company is not the kind to not deliver so expect to get the written offer tomorrow and maybe shoot over a round of questions.

I don't accept exploding offers on the argument that a company that needs to use high pressure tactics to hire probably doesn't has underlying issues.

Well then accept it and politely inform the other folks that you are withdrawing your candidacy.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
