Pissing off firms by dragging on my decision on offer?
I'm trying to decide between a few FT associate-level trading offers (some sell-side, some buy-side). While my offers will technically not expire for another month or so, the firms I'm looking at are putting me under a lot of pressure to make a decision right now. I don't feel ready to commit yet, though, and I think it will really help to think everything over in peace during the winter break (rather than making up my mind right now in between finals and end-of-semester partying). Do I risk seriously pissing people off by asking for some extra time?
I should add that they've given me more than a month to make up my mind already, so it really is a matter of thinking things over and making sure I'm 100% comfortable with whatever decision I'm making (as opposed to gathering additional facts and information, which would probably sound a lot more understandable to the firms). And obviously indecisiveness doesn't look good on an aspiring trader...
Anyway, let me know your thoughts. If any of you has gone through the same situation, please share your experience. Would really like to know if I am running the risk of doing permanent damage to the relationships I've built with these firms.
take all the time they give you, no one will remember
Wait...clarification
You technically have a month left, yet you are requesting more time?
OR
Do you mean they are pressuring you to sign now, even though you have a month left, and you want to use the remaining time left to decide?
If it is the former, I think if you have a month left, you have plenty of time to make a decision and should not request more time.
If it is the latter, you should take as much time as allotted. This is a very important decision, and you should not let a firm that has at-will employment for god's sake to force you to make a hasty choice.
