If interviewing with a number of different agencies and/or divisions within an agency, how do you handle multiple offers? Are you given time to think it over or is it akin to a clerkship where you are expected to accept on the spot? Acceptable to let the agency or division know you've made it to final rounds in another agency/division? I'm familiar with this in private sector but worry that letting agency/division 1 know I'm interviewing elsewhere would somehow look bad or less committed.

It’s never been a problem to let the agency know in my experience, if anything it speeds up offers and gives your clarity earlier if you tell, say, your top choice office that you have another offer, because they might just gently indicate you should take the other offer

Why do Big 4 firms interview you for a specific position level and then try to make you come in below that level...

That would be a lateral move for me in terms of level which be okay if at least it was a good pay increase but Their quoted pay range for the lower level would make it almost a lateral move financially too..
