I have interviews with multiple companies in the span of the next two months. How do you handle multiple offer? The first company today told me they would give me one… so what should I do? Sign them all, pick one at the end of the interviews, and back out of the other offers? Is that even legal? I am so anxious about this. Some companies are vastly better than others, but also harder to get into. I don’t want to back down from an “easy” offer with the hopes of getting into a harder one :(

You can also ask some companies to speed up because you are close to receiving an offer. This is a very common request.

If you get an offer too early, you can ask them for more time to decide.

You should also try to align timelines of interviews to hopefully receive offers at about the same time. It may be too late to do this for the first offer, but could help for other offers.

If all else fails, signing an early offer and then reneging or quitting quickly is bad, but not world ending. Assume you will be blacklisted at that firm. Maybe take an early offer as a backup, but push the start date far enough into the future so you don't start work there and can reneg later if needed. Of course. Be careful with doing this, if at all. This is much harder with on campus recruiting because your university may punish you somehow.

And yes - all my start dates I have proposed to recruiters are beyond the date of my last interview for this very reason

Your university really should have prepared you better for this. Do not sign them all. Ask for time to consider all.

Slow down. Multiple interviews =/= multiple offers. Keep your focus on actually getting those offers so as not to get ahead of yourself.

Man, of course, sorry if I sent the wrong message. I am not assuming I will get multiple offers at all!! I am just asking how I should handle the situation should it happen since I will get the first offer in a few days

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
