I have an internship offer with a BB which explodes at the end of the month. I have 2nd round interviews with other BB's, but know the offer in hand is the one I want. Is it better to wait until the end of the month, thus playing a little "poker", or should I accept now (received the offer last week)?

are you trying to bluff a BB? haha...good luck with that.
if you aren't a 100% sure about which one, go ahead and finish up interviews with other banks.
if you are a 100%, don't be a douche- just accept, it'll help a lot of other people.
What type of benefit do you think you are gonna get from playing "poker" with the bank?
If you know you want the offer in hand, then quit being a douche and accept...
you should play some poker....they need you more than you need them
its only an internship, they arent going to raise your salary, so just say thank you
If you have an offer from the BB that you prefer, why would you wait?
you can try to buy more time
so if the offer in hand is the one you then whats the point of interviewing with the other BB? So basically you want another offer just for the sake of it? so you can fuck over other people?
streetluck ... he was being sarcastic
Take the offer! If I read correctly this is the bank you want so take the fucking thing.
If its the firm you want you can't ask for more. Feel it out over the summer, if you don't like it then you can go anywhere you want. Accepting BB offers quick tells the banks a lot(they know you can shop).
