I've been offered a quant job in the UK, and replied verbally (during a phone call) that I'd like to accept, but I haven't signed anything yet.
The company then sent me a contract and offer letter to sign and return. The official deadline to return the signed documents is very generous and
reasonable. (I don't want to give the exact deadline because people might then ID me which could be embarrassing.)
However, the recruiter and HR are constantly badgering me to sign, scan and e-return immediately. In fact, I've been asked to
send it less than a day after I received it.
I'm a bit confused by this. The offer deadline is clear and reasonable and generous. Yet I'm being pushed and pushed to accept well before
the official offer deadline. Should I just ignore the barrage of emails and phone calls and act according to the official deadline?
