Ask for the offer deadline to be extended so that you have enough time to complete the final interview for the financial analyst role and hear back about the decision
Unfortunately I cannot extend my offer deadline
Ask the recruiter for an extension due to the holidays. Explain to them that it's important to you to spend this time of the year connecting with friends and family. If they are not sympathetic to this request it's, at best, a red flag on their recruiting practices, or at worst, an indication of poor company culture. Either way, you'll get an additional data point to help you make a decision.
As you have an offer already it's very unlikely they will retract it when you ask for an extra week to decide as they have spent the time to choose you. You have the leverage here
I have been in a similar position, what i did is accepted the position and made sure the final interview didnt intefere with the position, i did the final interview and like the offer, i left the other company on good standing since i was on probationary period anyway hope that helps!
