Received offer for an off-cycle, negotiated to a FT pending superday...
Completed a process for an off-cycle at an EB in London however initially declined the offer (due to a personal commitment). Followed up a few months later and pushed for a FT which was accepted pending a superday / modelling case. I'm wondering if I should try to go back to the table and secure the off-cycle 'sure thing' instead of risking it with a superday - if I do well, I will convert anyway right?
Main argument being 'a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush'. Equally, would it be questionable if I went back on my own negotiation and backpedaled for the instant off-cycle instead?

If you go on the OC route again, you might risk pissing them off and coming of as undecisive. Honestly, go for the FT opportunity and good luck.
Thanks for the reply and it makes sense. In this case, there hasn't been a 'process' or any formal actions taken. I basically met up with the staffer and said I was still very interested (which I am) but needed a FT role. He said that works given I complete a superday and to let him know when I'm ready to schedule it. Maybe it would be easier for them if I 'cave in' and go with the OC?
Less work for both sides and de-risks hiring me from their pov since I'll be gone soon if I'm no good. I'd agree if we had already set a date for example and internal discussions had taken place. Thoughts?
If it’s PWP I would go for FT as they don’t always convert interns
Yeah in the current market, conversions are uncertain basically anywhere. To be fair, I think I would have a good shot at converting but to bet the outcome on a single superday (where realistically many things can go wrong) seems too risky for the reward of skipping an off-cycle.
