Imagine this: you’ve just finished an interview, and the recruiter calls to tell you they’re offering you the job.

Great news, right? But there’s a catch—they need your decision within 24 hours.

These are called time-sensitive or "exploding" job offers, and they can put a lot of pressure on you.

Time-sensitive offers are designed to make you decide quickly, often before you have a chance to consider other opportunities or think things through.

In some cases, it can be a trap by the company to secure the candidates without letting them move around.
