Would not do it. Every bank will interpret this as “we’re just a backup” which is exactly true 99% of the time
Who would know? Does the whole team pretty much know all the offers that have been sent out? what about juniors?
There's not a formal notification process and people rarely care too much about prospective interns, but if someone pushed hard for you they will likely find out.
If you do this very eloquently most people won't have a problem with it. "I really like this firm and team, but I have a superday next Thursday and I'd really like to see both processes through until the end. Is there any flexibility to extend this offer until next Friday?"
I wouldn't ask for more than a 7-10 day extension (so really only for a confirmed superday, any early processes you should accelerate or let go of). And I certainly would not accept an offer and continue to recruit, reneging is not a good look
Just accept the offer and continue with your other processes.
You're better off accepting and then reneging later than asking for an extension.
What’s the risk of the new firm finding out and rescinding your offer?
