Handling Multiple Offers
So, a few days ago I found out I got an offer at a BB. I didn't accept the offer, but verbally hinted that I was almost certain I would accept due to excitement. I also said I would accept if I got the offer at the interview (they asked me.)
Then I found I got an offer at my top choice. Would it be unethical to not accept the previous offer, even though I hinted that I would (but never gave them the verbal yes)? Could that lead to my first choice reneging the offer?
I also feel bad about canceling already scheduled interviews (first and final rounds) at other banks... I really don't want to burn bridges for FT. Would canceling burn bridges?
Thanks for all your help - this whole process of handling offers is very confusing and new to me, so I appreciate any advice.
How to Handle multiple job offers
- Select the best firm for you
- Exit Process recruitment respectfully
Winning multiple offers is a great position to be in. However, it can be a confusing process for some. Make sure that you select the firm that is the best fit for you. Once you’ve decided on where you want to start your career, gracefully exit the process with other firms.
It’s considerate to end the process and save everyone's time than to continue interviewing. Some firms may have given you an offer with a “respond by” date. Reach out to human resources before this date and politely inform them that you’ve accepted an offer elsewhere. It is that easy!

I agree with the above posts. When I had to decline interviews, HR was actually pretty thankful and even said to hit them up during full-time recruiting. They understand, it's not a big deal. But at the same time, you shouldn't be interviewing after you have accepted with your first choice.
