Had a recruiter tell me that investment firms only give 24 hours for you to accept an offer - is this true? It seems crazy to me

If they have multiple candidates they think of making an offer to but you’re higher up on the list for whatever reason, it makes sense. They want to know asap if you want it or not so they can move the offer to the next person if you don’t want it. They can’t wait a week for you to think about it as the other candidates could also have other offers on hand.

Investment firms typically have a high candidate/application pool and are very competitive. Chances are you’re not the only one they think of making an offer to.

Fwiw pwc only gave me 24 hours from the time I got my offer letter (FDD senior). They told me the paperwork was coming a day or 2 before that, but...
