Question about Offer Deadlines
I recently got an offer for an internship. However, the deadline the company set was a week. My school has a policy that every company has a three week deadline and no shorter. I mentioned that I have a few superdays that I committed before i got the offer, and he said that might still be ok but he really wanted it in a week.
However, if I do go to the superdays, but end up taking the offer I have right now (after the one week 'deadline'), would it really hurt me this upcoming summer?
Sorry if I sound a bit insecure, but I'm a bit nervous about the situation.





You can try to extend the
You can try to extend the offer beyond a week, but you better hope they do not pull the offer, or offer it to someone else. If they offer it to someone else and they accept, then you're done.
talk to your school's campus
talk to your school's campus recruiting office, they should be able to give HR a call and have the deadline enforced (assuming that it's an on campus recruiting job--if it not, you're on your own, in which case you could always accept and then renege if you get something better)

If the company says one
If the company says one week...then it's usually one week. I would accept the offer and go ahead and have your superdays. Considering how competitive it is out there right now, you can't rely on coming out of a superday with an offer. The last thing you want is to have received an offer and then end up with no job as a result of indecisiveness. Just my 2 cents.
It depends...How confident are you about your candidacy?
grandpabuzz,
I just had the exact similar situation happen to me last week. They told me they'll give me 5 days to think about it and they were willing to extend the deadline if I really needed it. But by the morning of day 5, they called me and said the offer was over.
So if you really wanted this one, you should take it and run. For me it worked out, because I had other offers extended to me just a couple days later. But those 2 days were difficult to get through...
Hope that helps.
Well I called them, and they
Well I called them, and they said they would follow school policy and give me the two weeks.
