I will be interviewing with an Asset Manager soon and am also in talks with a few Investment Banks about potential interviews/offers. I really want to work in IB but this position would not be a bad way to start my career. I am fairly confident I could get an offer as an analyst but if I get the AM offer and can't expedite with other banking firms should I accept anyway? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so would it be stupid to turn down a sure thing? Also, what kind of time frame should I expect after a super day to hear back/be expected to accept or decline? Thanks everyone for your help!

Well, in my opinion you are still a little too early in your predicament. I would wait until after the AM Super-day to see if you get the offer then go from there. You should get a response from them within a week, but if you are heading up to the STRH AM Superday this week, then you should hear back by Monday if you got an offer.
As far as the IB firms, you said that you are in "talks", but have you secured the first round our Superday for any of them? If you have, and assuming you get the FT AM position, I would ask for an extension on your acceptance time frame.
Right now is just about patience. Don't go and stress yourself out when you need to focus on killing the Superdays and getting the FT offer. Until you have an offer on the table, I believe the trade-off decision is moot. Concentrate on the most relevant and nail the interview!
Best of luck!
+SB - Great advice, I love to stress myself out about the little details beforehand. I was just worried that they would only give me a one week time frame to accept and wanted to get an answer here so I would know what to do if the situation arises. What kind of time frame do you usually get with an offer and what kind of extension would be appropriate to ask for?
negotiate deadline by saying (1) need some time to talk it over with family or (2) your school requires a 2week min
