No you don’t say that. Very normal to do that, and understood by the partner, but you don’t just say “I’m waiting to hear back from McKinsey” like an idiot.

It’s best practice not to accept or decline an offer on the spot over the phone. It’s expected. You don’t need a reason why, you just say thank you and you are excited about the opportunity and will review the offer. Employment is a 2 way street. If time becomes an issue, within reason, ask if you can have an extra couple of days to consider. They know what that means.

They send you an offer that should have all benefits etc outlined as well. You usually have two weeks to review and sign it

likehelpful

Don’t mention it at all? Just say something like how you’re excited to review the offer and can’t wait to get back to them by x date

The MDP is just going to say congrats and offer to answer any questions or can put you in touch with people from the office if you’d like. They’re not going to ask your decision, so don’t volunteer that you’re interviewing elsewhere (it’s probably assumed)

You can chat with HR after getting your offer letter about all contract details and decision deadline

likehelpful

Agreed with everyone else - let them give you the offer, and when Hr sends it in writing they’ll have a deadline on it. Then ask to chat with HR and say you are in discussions with a few orgs and would like x amount of time

Thanks all, very useful!
