My dumb 22 year old a** just told them when I was interviewing after my last summer internship in college. For some reason they gave me a month long extension. If they want you enough, they’ll grant the time. I can’t say whether that’s actually a good idea though.

There are various ways to take more time to make a decision on an offer. Ask the HR to set up a call with hiring manager, or negotiate the offer - these will buy you some time.

Just tell them that: I am also interviewing with another firm. If you’re scared just say you want to be sure this is the right decision.

For McKinsey PEI (power round), should my stories be around 5-6 minutes containing a good level of detail, or really generic (~2 minutes) and just let the interviewers ask me questions on what they feel are most important to them? I’m really eager to present the details because I think these are elements that can show my fit with the company well, but am hearing some people say that >2 mins people get lost. But some details are important to provide background (industry specific)…

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
