2 Day Exploding Offer

How to manuever a 2 day exploding IB offer when waiting to hear back from a Hedge Fund? Both top shops in their respective field, but I am leaning towards the HF. However, I dont want to rush them and possibly lose the offer by pushing a 2 day deadline down their throat.

tell hedge fund you have an exploding offer and think of them as your top choice, but need to decide in the next ___ days

ask IB GENTLY for a small extension

if neither of those work, I'd probably just take the IB offer, but that's all determinant on your level of certainty on the hedge fund offer

 

hey love the name too! haha

and not sure about the extension, it seems p group specific

my only experience w/ IB was getting summer internships which I didn't end up taking, the BB that I worked with wouldn't give me an extension, but didn't pull the offer just from me asking, so take that for what it's worth
