I received an unpaid offer on Friday from a boutique in a non-finance city. It expires tomorrow however I am in late round interviews at boutiques in NYC and two other finance centers. None of them will be paid but that's not the issue. What would you guys do? In my heart I want the bank from one of the other finance centers badly. Is there any way to extend the deadline because it's unpaid? Would it be bad to accept the offer only to renege if I get the offer I want? Thanks for your help!

Just ask for a deadline extension, firms normally give 1 or 2 extensions before closing the deadline.
Definitely would not renege an offer, I'm not a big fan of burning bridges before FT recruiting (sounds like you're doing internships right now)
Unpaid internship? I didn't know those still exist. You should go with your gut feeling about the offer.
