Offer Etiquette
So I've received a SA offer via a voicemail from a very respectable firm I certainly would be okay with, but I am waiting to hear back from a few other firms. I plan on calling back firm granting the offer and essentially saying, "I got your voicemail but I want to wait until I hear back from these other guys." Any advice on making that phone call less awkward/miserable?

Re: Offer Etiquette
Thank you so much! When do you guys need a response by? <I need time to talk to my family, etc> Or not. They know the drill.
