How to ask for extension without pissing off boss?
I have job offer in technology firm, a non-finance position related to my school work but waiting on a BB mid-office/Back office position. The BB contacted me to let them know if I can get an extension because they need time to decide.Granted my first choice is the BB position because it's just more exciting to me.
How do I ask the tech firm for an extension? I interviewed with my future supervisor so how do I even go about this? The BB contacted me to let them know if I can get an extension. God, I don't want to lose an offer in this economy.
Questions:
What should I say?
I have a number of interviews coming up and ideally i'd like an extension until Christmas. lol

hmm, that makes it harder. if you pushed for it AND an alum helped you out, you probably shouldn't reneg. tough call, you're the only one that can make the decision.
