Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions. How bad is it for me to accept and then decline if I get another offer? The other companies would be paying 15-30k more and I feel like that's way too much to give up especially right out of school. I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)

Take the offer. Continue to interview and decide later once you receive the other offer. You will be fine

Agreed. Take the offer. I always findd as soon as I accept, I end up getting more offers. I guess that is how it goes :)

(2/2) and I reached out to the director that interviewed me yesterday to ask directly if I could have an extension because I've been unimpressed with this recruiter from the start and having such a short turn around with no option for an extension felt weird.

You will burn a bridge with them if you end up turning them down after accepting but it will keep your options open, so the obvious answer is to do what will work best for you.
