accepting an internship offer question

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)?

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.

 

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?

 

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).
