And in response to OP, don't lie. It's idiotic and very bad business sense. Dont put anything on the line that you don't have to risk. Potential downside: being blacklisted here and other potential employers. Potential upside: finding out one week earlier than other kids on campus.
Its definitely okay to tell them you have an exploding offer when you don't. They wont check so there is no downside and you can only benefit from telling them that you have an exploding offer, whether you actually have one or not.
lmao gtfo
If they are not sure about you being a strong cadidate they might wish you good luck in this other opportunity as they would need more time on interviews...
Other possibility is they calling a friend in this other company to confirm the story. Don't go that way bro. Lying is always a bad choice...
Why Rush it if you don't have to, it could back fire if you're not careful.
Usually, they do genuinely try to speed up the process. Now sometimes, there is a legitimate time constraint on you getting your response back, but if you were one of the guys that they liked, it can usually be sped up. They don't really ask for any evidence (at least in my experience, which was once) but that said, I don't see a reason to speed them up on their decision process.
Go watch the video from that HBS professor speaking on negotiating. Just don't lie, it's not worth it. And like asiamoney pointed out above, shit like that happens and you don't want to be the next Jeffrey Chiang.
It's honestly not worth it. Do you really want to build the foundation of your career on a lie? It could really come back to haunt you some day.
You can always bluff and tell them that you have an exploding offer somewhere. However, from my experience it will only help you marginally in the sense that they will make a decision quicker and that is not always on your favor.
Limited upside, HUGE downside. It's not worth it.
