Do recruiters ever reply to any of these threads
Hi Fishes, Sometime back I was interviewed for Technical Support Job role in my domain. T1 went well. T2, in my understanding was better only (not great like T1 but not blunder. I felt it was nice and i replied majority of questions). They released the feedback after 10 days with "Not Positive". I am not totally sure with feedback as I replied majority of questions correct. I am being bit curious with "Microsoft" tag. What can be the reason?
Discussion appreciated.

Most companies I've known will not give you an extension on making the decision. After all, how does it benefit them to give you an extra time. Go back to the other companies and tell them you have an offer on the table and see if they can accelerate their decision process.
The other option, but perhaps the less ethical, is to accept. Then, if a better offer appears you can decline the first offer. This will burn bridges, but other than that there isn't anything that says you have to stand by you acceptance. (Companies will pull offers if they change their minds, so we shouldn't feel guilty if we do the same.)

Ask them to give you 7 days to review and consider. Usually companies give you that much time. Anything more than 7 days would be pushing it though.
Pro
I agreed that accepting knowing you might get a better offer isn't recommended. However, I do feel it is worth mentioning for situations where the company won't work with you.
So you got an offer but the job is not your first preference or your hoping to receive a better offer elsewhere?
