What’s the longest period of time you can reasonably ask for to consider an offer? I think I’ll get one next for a backup role but am in early stages at two other companies I’d strongly prefer.

Would 3 weeks be acceptable if I let them know that I’d like to finish with other company and understand if they have to go with someone else in meantime?

You can ask for 3 weeks but they very likely won’t give it to you unless you’re very senior. More like 2 at the maximum

Lol no. 1 week is standard

Ask for an extra 2 weeks but ultimately I’d accept if it came down to it. If you then need to renege you renege, no shame in that so long as you end up where you are ultimately happy in the role you want

Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
