If a written offer letter clearly states the deadline to respond (e.g., June 11), do l need to tell the recruiter why I'm taking a few days to review everything-so they don't assume I'm ignoring it? Letter says “We look forward to hearing from you and hope you decide to join our team. Please contact your recruter with your decision by XYZ date.” Yes, in this economy I worry about an offer being rescinded.) It's a large corp, so l trust their process, but still.......

It’s always best to establish a relationship with someone if you can. Communication is important if you’re interested in the role.

In this job market, I wouldn’t take more than a couple days to make a decision. I would keep the recruiter informed, also.

Can you tell the recruiter, “excited about the offer, let me review it over the weekend.”

That aside, is there a reason you need a lot more days to decide? Big company or not, any delays do send a message to the hiring team of being tepid or uninterested.

I disagree. It’s a big decision. It’s okay to spend some time in discernment.

it was sent to me automatically by their system after talking with a recruiter by phone. That’s why I’m asking if I should personally let the recruiter know. I told him on the phone the offer sounds good to me and then I got the Docusign

Anyone know how much assoc brand managers at Spotify make?

A certain SVP is spamming the bowl about “Trump dues”. If you feel that this is a) clever b) funny c) contributes to the discussion at hand d) any combination of the above, you’d be wrong. A quick search shows at least 12 mentions of “Trump dues” by SVP in the last two hours.

P.s. I don’t know what industry SVP works in, but it sure isn’t finance or accounting because he doesn’t seem to understand the concept that large term loans can be (and usually are) settled by the issuance of a new loan.
