Tier 2 MC Firm: Friday, May 3rd I was given a verbal offer by the partner. Received paperwork by 3pm, I noticed the offer expires on Monday May 6th, overall I understand this as the start-date is May 13th, however I will be moving-out of state for this.
There is no way I can break my lease, move my car, move my belongings, and not have it exceed the sign-on bonus.
I emailed the recruiter at 3:30pm, with my concerns. She did not reply. So I should hear back on Monday (aka the day I have to give a decision).
- What are ways to negotiate other than saying (I need re-lo) I've thought about asking for a later start-date if they're firmly against relocation
- This is my last choice firm, I have 3 more final rounds with better firms in the next two weeks. My gut says to accept this role, and reneg, but I wanted to make sure this wouldn't burn any bridges (or find a way to do this in the most polite way)
I know I am one of the top candidates, ( in the most humble way possible). The other roles I am applying for are for more senior consultant levels as well as at better firms. I believe they gave me the offer because I was qualified but may suspect I wouldn't accept it. So they want to give me a short time period so they can offer it to someone else who would accept.
TLDR: Who gives a candidate 3 days to accept, how do I negotiate a different start-date/better-title/re-lo
Do you mind DM'ing the firm? I've never heard of a legit firm running on such tight timelines and pressuring the applicant into such a tight spot. I had like 8 weeks to accept an internship offer.
If your start date is in one week, how are you going to continue interviewing? If it's your least preferred option, I'd be more focused on asking for a later start date than more re-lo.
