Hello all, after a long deliberation, I have decided to put this question to those out there. I recently received an offer from a number of 2nd tier (Barcap/CS/Citi/BAML) firms, and am considering accepting. However, after all of my expiry dates, I have received superdays from my two top choice firms. Is it worth accepting one of my current offers, then reneging? What are people's thoughts? I have solid relationships at the firm I would pick of my offers, and really like the people.

I would reach out to the banks you have offers for and ask for a small extension. Tell them that you are very interested in the offer but you have an upcoming superday and want to see how that goes before coming to a final solution. I haven't personally done this but it is worth a try. If they hear you have other superdays that just makes them want you more.
I agree with this, although personally I would refrain from using the phrase "final solution." YMMV, but I was in a similar situation a year ago, got an extension after a quick phone call, and ended up at a place that better fit my interests
Agree. I'm not sure if I would name-drop who the superday is for (they can probably infer it's for a Tier +1 place if you want to do it), unless they specifically ask. If I was the officer, I would probably be a little annoyed that you want to "upgrade" so-to-speak, but it further affirms that you're a highly desirable candidate.
And if you are set on doing the superday, this is 1000% a better idea than reneging later on.
Don't Renege
I think I will wait out until my deadline, and see what materializes before that. Thanks for everyone's help
