Buying Time

We discuss the various options you can exercise when dealing with an offer that expires on a given deadline.

Most companies do not want candidates to shop around once an offer has been extended. They will force a candidate to make a decision either way, often by putting an expiration date on the offer. Most companies are merely posturing and will let you accept the offer even after the deadline passes while very few may indeed pass you over and proceed with other candidates in the pipeline.
