In Reply To: The firm I'm working for this summer interviews in August and makes offers which explode in Sept, before school starts ! If I got the offer, I would have to take it before I could look elsewhere. I really want to explore. How binding are these offers ? What do I do ?
Message: It's not that uncommon to ask for an extension once you get an offer. Try to be a little bit flexible about how long of an extension you need. In other words, have a specific date in mind that you think would be a resonible amount of time to consider your options. Good Luck!!! Bilbo PS you may also want to start your job hunting a little earlier, too.
