Can I ask to visit the office before I accept a consulting offer?
- Offers
I have an offer from an office I have never actually visited. Would it be normal to ask recruiting if I can stop by and meet a few people before the decision deadline?

Can I ask a consulting firm to match another offer without sounding transactional?
- Offers
I have two consulting offers and one package is materially higher. I prefer the lower-paying firm for the work and people. Is it reasonable to ask whether they can match part of the difference, and how should I frame the conversation?

Mayank G.CoachIt is reasonable to ask, especially when you genuinely prefer the lower-paying firm and the compensation difference is meaningful. The request should be framed as a discussion, not an ultimatum.
Is it reasonable to ask for a few days to discuss a consulting offer with family?
- Offers
I received an offer and the recruiter asked when I expect to decide. I want a few days to talk it through with my family before committing. Is that a normal reason to ask for time?

What happens if my graduation date changes after I accept a consulting offer?
- Offers
My graduation date may shift by one semester because of a course scheduling issue. If I already accepted a consulting offer with a fixed start date, what is the best way to raise this with recruiting without making it look like I am backing out?

Mayank G.CoachTell recruiting as soon as the graduation change becomes reasonably likely. The earlier they know, the more options they have for adjusting a start date or class placement.
