How can I delay the offer acceptance process ?

P.S. I need more time to think whether I want to join or not. Also, I am expecting mid-year raises from current employer.

I usually say upfront that I will require time to evaluate the offer and compare with others. I don't give in to the HR's pressure claiming that's how you get offer drops at last day.
If nothing works, I urge the HR to again arrange a call with the Hiring Manager MID WEEK to resolve my doubts about the role & future of this position (this additionally can buy you a week or so)

Thanks, that was helpful. Maximum how much time can you ask for?

Obviously way more than I'd make if I stayed at KPMG for busy season.

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?
