So I got an offer for an accounting advisory position. The recruiter told me the offer verbally. What a reasonable amount of time to wait to give them a response? I’m one round in for another position as well, so I’m trying to weight my options. I’m scared I’m gonna accept the wrong one and really want to take time to figure out the best opportunity. I’m an S1 (going on S2 this summer) I’m audit.

A week is pretty reasonable. I would tell the other company you have an offer so they speed things up

Okay, I’ve been hearing 24-48 hours. And the recruiter was saying he was expecting faster and that it wouldn’t look good if I dallied about it. Or didn’t give a pretty quick response…

If any other context is helpful, ask away

Which firm, title, and salary band?

It’s with CFGI, I’m not sure what my title would be, but I would guess I’d be coming in as senior associate/consultant. Base 90, w over time bonus and discretionary bonus.

One other thing. I’m trying to get a delayed start date. What does anyone know about that? Ideal is August (which is really late, I know) but I’m hoping to visit family out of state for a few weeks.

What city?
