Ok, so I got an offer from Goldman yesterday to work in Investment Management Controllers on a team that performs the valuation for its hedge funds and mutual funds. Seems like a good opportunity with a good package (60+10), but it seems as tho the bonus and possibly exit opps are limited (being that its considered backoffice).
Today I was invited back to Lehman for final round for its Credit Risk Analyst program. Seems like a great opportunity, especially b/c its considered more middle/front office and the bonus will be much higher (any ideas of a range?)
The problem is that Goldman wants an answer by November 6th, but Lehman final round isn't until November 9th.
What do I do???
Thanks!!

Use your Goldman offer as leverage to push up the date on your Lehman interview.
Lehman is like a Superday, though. I'll be meeting 5-6 managers.
Is it possible to get them push it up?
Is this common or will they get turned off by it?
Thanks.
Call them and tell them that you have an exploding offer pending on Nov. 6th, and you really want to interview with Lehman because ...(tell them why you want to work there). Usually, if you have another offer, esp. from BB, banks will want to take a second look at you. In your case, they would have taken the 2nd look anyways. And No, they will not be turned off. If anything, they'll probably want you even more if you tell them that you have an offer from Goldman.
Caution: This is how it is for banking, not sure about other front/mid/back office positions. I would assume its essentially all the same.
Thanks for the advice!
I've been trying to call all day but no answer.
Should I leave a voicemail or email the person who contacted me or is it better to actually wait to get in touch w/ her?
Flashback Monday ... I wonder what happened to this guy ...
Credit risk at Lehman...lol
maybe he became the guy on the right
