Hey TLS,
Searched through the archives but couldn't find anything on this subject exactly.
Anyone have experience with obtaining an extension on their full-time offer for the firm at which they were a summer associate?
Thanks!

Re: Extension for full-time offer
Do you mean like a deferral, or like an "extension" to respond to the offer?

OP Here - I have some non-law interviews scheduled for after the deadline (e.g., banking, consulting). But in case those don't pan out, I don't want to lose out on the sure fire offer right now.SmokeytheBear wrote:

Looking for an extension of the offer deadline by a few weeks.

Curious what others have to say about their experiences with this. Unless you craft some fanciful lie, I can't imagine this coming off as anything other than trading up and the firm getting upset.Anonymous User wrote:OP Here - I have some non-law interviews scheduled for after the deadline (e.g., banking, consulting).

If anything I'd contact the other employers and tell them you got an offer/ask if they cam move their interviews up before the deadline; I can't think of a situation where asking them to give you an extra week for non-law interviews is going to pan out well.

Worst comes to worst, accept the offer and renege.

Re: Extension for full-time offer
I don't understand the quandary. Accept the offer. If you find another job you like better, accept that offer and inform the firm that you won't be joining them next fall. This kind of thing happens frequently with clerkships, for example.
