Job Offer Help Quickly Please

I recently got a job offer for a contracting role with an investment bank, but I just completed an interview at two other investment banks I would prefer over the contracting job. Should I go ahead and accept the contracting job then quit within a week of hire if offered another role with the bank I prefer or what?

no finance is a small world and you don't know how that would affect you down the line.

You stall as much as possible with the job offer while contacting the other two investment banks letting them know you have a exploding offer and try to hurry the process with the other two.

Hopefully you can get your results before the contracting job offer expires but if not, you have to decide whether or not to let that expire in the hopes of getting the other two.

 

Should I just straight up ask the recruiter when the offer will expire and tell them I'll have a decision before that?

I have already contacted the recruiters for the other two jobs I interviewed for, and one of them says they're still interviewing, but they will have someone contact me directly regarding where I stand in the process.

 

You think I should just straight up tell the recruiter that has the contracting job offer that I'm waiting to hear back on the other two for a week first? Thanks for the help. I'm freaking out because I'm supposed to tell him something in 30 minutes from now.
