Accepting an offer
So you received a job offer; congrats! Now what? Here are some key steps you'll want to take.

Talk to a career coach!
We want to help you negotiate, evaluate your options, and feel great about your offer. Before you accept, reach out to a coach to discuss it.

Make sure it’s what you want
It's not ideal to accept an offer you're unsure about, and willing to rescind. There are a few reasons you may be on the fence about accepting the offer. Talk through the offer with someone to weigh the pros and cons.

Negotiate!
See here for tips on negotiations. The most important thing is to always negotiate! Unless the company explicitly told you they don’t negotiate up front, assume it’s an expected part of the process.

Get it in writing
Nothing is final until it’s in writing and you have signed an official offer. Read over the offer details well before signing anything to make sure you understand the terms.

Let Lambda School know
Whether your offer is with a hiring partner or a company you found on your own, we want to hear about it! Fill out the offer form whenever you receive an offer, even if you're still deciding. We can't wait to see your selfie with your offer letter, or post in the #hired channel when you officially accept an offer.

Let other companies know
If you’re interviewing with other companies, and you've accepted an offer elsewhere, update them! Find templates for this type of communication here. You should also notify companies you have an offer on the table if you hope to hear where you stand in their process, and want to know if they are also thinking of offering.
