Just interviewed Friday for grant Thornton got an offer Friday from RSM they gave me the weekend and a few days to think about it and I want to take the offer but want the GT offer much more, how can I try to go about getting rapid feedback on my candidacy already reached out to the recruiter yday morning no reply since, not really trying to accept the offer just to turn around and decline because it’s just an unnecessary hassle. What is my next best step other than just accept the RSM offer?

Go back to RSM and negotiate the offer. This will buy you some time. In parallel work GT and let them know you have a competing offer. Worst case you accept the RSM and wait for the GT offer to come in. Best of luck! Went through the afore mentioned when I graduated school

Say you have another offer and do not want to be rude by putting one firm in an awkward position

That’s perfect. Say exactly that (minus the it was super easy part). That might get GT to fasttrack the process

What do other fishes with more experience think about this approach?

I guess decline. Unless there was a maybe option in the offer letter?

You should tell GT you have an offer plus your deadline for accepting. If they want you, they'll speed things along. Otherwise, take RSM and move on.

I’ve been in this scenario. You can try and buy a few days by saying you need more time.

Realistically, you just need to make a calculated choice. How likely are you to get GT and would you be okay with staying at your current gig for a while longer if you don’t get it.

Also communicate very very slowly with anyone not GT lol

Would telling GT about the RSM offer really benefit me or is it just going to seem like me begging for a reply from them? Like if they’re going to offer me they’re going to offer right? Will me telling them that help them to decide quicker or are they more likely to just say okay we’ll join RSM lol I’m just kinda new to this coming out of under grad about a yr ago no real negotiation exp.

It will help speed things along. There’s so much behind the scenes stuff that all needs to get done involving other parties (interviewers submitting their feedback forms, offer reviews from partners etc). And if you are part of a batch of hires, a hold up for other candidates might slow things for you. If Recruiting can light a fire under anyone lagging by saying that this person has another offer in hand, it can definitely move things along for you.

Absolutely go back to both: negotiate the offer and tell GT what’s up. It may work with GT, may not. You’re in a good spot either way. Be straightforward and professional.

I had a couple other offers when I took a role recently; when the offer was made I told both other companies and they BOTH responded by trying to schedule another round of interviews! Told me everything I needed to know. I took the offer of course.

Accept the offer or ask for more money to further delay start date. Another option is to push out your start to give RSM a chance to provide an offer

Have you simply asked for an extension?
