Reneging lower-tier bank for mid-tier BB?

In a situation where a lower-tier bank (think Nomura/HSBC/Mizuho) won't extend my offer deadline and I have upcoming superdays with BBs (think BofA/Citi). Given that I have less than a week to decide, is the best option to accept lower-tier and renege in the event I get an offer from another bank? Both locations are in NYC but the groups are all different.

 

how many other interviews do you have? If you have 2+ interviews, just turn down the offer....at least that is just my opinion. reneging sometimes gets back to your university. 

 

Well it's for FT and the bank doesn't do OCR with my school anyway. I am in the process for 2 right now, potentially a 3rd

 

If the contract is at-will employment then I understand you are allowed to quit at any time, even before you show up I guess. It may depend on what exactly you are signing with those banks if anything. Have you mentioned to them you are still interviewing with other banks, namely banks with larger investment banking businesses it seems?

 

Renege. It sucks and you'll feel shitty but you're a college kid and you're allowed to be selfish in this situation, people will get it. I would get it. 

 

Renege. Candidates should stop giving a shit about banks since banks don't really give a shit about candidates.

Banks always have monkeys on their waitlists. 

Secure the current offer, and shoot your shot at the BB. Then renege if you can bag that BB offer.

Just be careful about not giving the bank you renege on any clue about the place you're heading to, then you'll be fine.
