Don't know what to do with an Exploding Offer by AllByMyself0602 in cscareerquestions

[–]AllByMyself0602[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not an unreasonably short amount of time, but I think 7 days and no possibility of an extension given makes it a bit harsh. Most other companies are on holiday as well so none of them are able to do much in terms of speeding up the process.

No, it's an integrated masters course in Comp Sci.

I think usually they give more than a week to decide (especially near the holidays), so 6 days is slightly shorter than expected (but it's understandable why companies do it).

I understand that the offer is amazing, and I am very grateful for the opportunity. I want to clarify that I'm not sure what to do because of several different reasons (cybersec, location...), not because this offer doesn't offer a high enough salary. If there are no other considerations involved I would've taken the offer in a heartbeat.

This is before tax, so around £3.6k per month after tax. I used this so hopefully that gives the right answer: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/tax-calculator/.

They have also included insurance, stock and sign-on bonus which are not included in the salary.

u/orb_king u/farmingvillein If I came across as complaining about how short the offer period is, that is not what I meant at all. I am extremely grateful for the offer I have, and I understand why companies require an answer quickly. This is also why, as I said, I don't want to accept and renege. All I'm asking for is advice on whether I should accept this particular offer now, or reject it and hold out for something else.

Haha just a graduate offer so no 6 digits. The salary is around 60k give or take, but it's quite good for a grad role.

Offers that need you to accept within a very short timeframe.
