Take the early offer or play another hand?

Hi All,

I just received an offer for an S&T summer analyst position for 2020. I am definitely interested in the markets, but this offer comes way before most other firms that I am looking at have begun their processes. I know that I am interested in restructuring and would want to recruit that if given the opportunity.

However, my offer is exploding and I only have a week or so left to decide. Do you think it is wise to let the offer explode in hopes that I may get something better - or do I take it and just be thankful that I got anything at all?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
