A week is customary minimum. Tell them you need a week to consider. If they stick to the 3 days, it's a red flag, but most likely just negotiation tactics.

Be sure to let the other firm you're interviewing with know you have an offer on the table to speed their process up if possible.

If you need more than 1-2 weeks it's obviously a bit more tricky

@Accenture 1, since you're so awesome do you have any advice for negotiating salary ? I've never really had to since I'm currently still employed by my first job. I only have things online to go by. I don't want to come off like as a jerk but I do want to ensure that I'm make a good decision. The position is definitely the field I want to be in however , they only offer two weeks of vacation haha so that's kind of throwing me off a little since I have 25 PTO days with KPMG.

I just went through this.. and my poker face is awful. Just keep interviewing and get multiple offers then go back to the one you want and ask them to match the highest (assuming it's still enough of a jump to leave K)

My tactic, which has worked a few times, is when you get the offer, tell them you're on holiday the following week. say that you want to have a think about this over your break. And tell them you'll come back to them right when you're back in your home city. You easily by yourself 5-10 days. And usually they don't want to disturb / hassle you when you're on your break anyway. Has worked for me twice before!

In terms of negotiating salary, you could just say you've had previous offers which offered you X $$$ and you know that is your market value and cannot look below that specific figure. Also say that you're up for promotion this year at your firm where you'll be expecting an X% jump, so you need bit more on the table to make the jump worthwhile

The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.
