You get to this point and in my experience you're so exhausted from interviews and assessment centres that you have no idea what to do next or you're so anxious about getting a job in the first place you just sign straight off while the adrenalin is still pumping through your veins. I've learnt, you really need a bit of breathing space to relax and think about the bigger picture. This will make all the difference when you actually accept and start work as you'll be 100% bought into the company and the role etc. as you've reasoned it out and/ or come to terms with it. Also, take time to enjoy the calm relaxed elation that follows an offer as I'm sure it's been at least a month if not two that you've been in process, so a couple days to a week should be sufficient to ponder life's big queries. Then pop the champers and celebrate! Finally, never ever burn your bridges. This business is all about building relationships, and consulting is surprisingly incestuous. Good post.
