Is it a bad thing to inform that you have other offers and need time to consider?
Recording a recent story about finding a job earlier. During the job search, I received an offer but still had other interviews ongoing, encountering different perspectives:
Perspective A: Since the company has already made an offer, saying that you need to wait until finishing the processes with other companies before making a decision means a lack of desire to join, which is inappropriate.
Perspective B: There’s nothing wrong with being sincere and telling the other company that you need more time to evaluate different jobs before making a decision.
I lean towards Perspective B, as being responsible for my life also shows consideration for the other party.
Then there’s Perspective C: There’s no need to inform about other interview is ongoing; just say you need more time to consider.
The reason I prefer Perspective B is that I hope the company I join values reasoning rather than just superficial aspects.
