Offer Question

I received an SA offer at an EB (EVR,PJT,LAZ) and was wondering when I should sign the written contract. I got the official offer letter yesterday and Im definitely going to accept but should I wait till early next week? Just don't want to look desperate but also want to show that I'm eager to join

What are you waiting for? Are there other competing offers from other firms?
I would read, comprehend and submit the employment agreement at your earliest convenience. Make sure you tick all the boxes and if you have questions regarding the small print - I am sure WSO is more than happy to help.

 

If you know you're going to take it, just take it. If you are trying to interview other places or talk to people before accepting then do that, but don't worry about the implications of when you sign it (no one cares). They will probably start to chase you after a few days so I would honestly do it sooner rather than later if you don't have a reason for waiting.
