I asked to speak with a recent hire and it was probably the most useful call I had before deciding.

Can I ask to speak with future team members after getting an offer but before I decide?
- Offers
I have a consulting offer and I'm excited about it, but I still have questions about the actual team and day-to-day work. Is it normal to ask recruiting to connect me with future colleagues before I make a decision?

Can I ask whether an offer deadline is flexible before I have another offer?
- Offers
I have one consulting offer with a fairly short deadline, but my other processes are still early. I do not have another offer to use as leverage. Is it okay to ask for more time anyway, or should I wait until I have something concrete?

Mayank G.CoachYou can ask for an extension even without another offer, but keep the request reasonable and specific.
Can I ask for a later start date after accepting a consulting offer?
- Offers
I accepted an offer with a standard start date, but a personal situation has changed and I may need a few extra weeks before joining. Is it reasonable to ask after acceptance, or does that make me look unreliable?

Mayank G.CoachIt is reasonable to ask, but treat the original start date as your commitment until the firm approves a change.
Firm gave me an exploding offer but asked me not to contact other firms. Is that normal?
- Offers
I received an offer with a short deadline and the recruiter strongly suggested I stop speaking with other firms while I decide. That felt a little strange because I still have another process underway. Is it normal for a firm to ask that, and how should I handle it?

Mayank G.CoachYou can evaluate the offer on its own terms without agreeing to stop other active recruiting unless you have actually made a commitment to do so.
