What should I do? I received an internship offer and I have to let them know if I’m going to take it by Tuesday. I also interviewed for a few coordinator-level positions at another company, but I haven’t heard back from them yet. Do I take the internship or hope for the higher level job?

Whats the internship in?

Pick the option that leaves the most options open in the future. Sayin no to the internship closes that door. Saying yes does nothing to your future options. You could later chose to stop the internship and accept another role if it’s more exciting or poses better prospects than your internship. That’s a later decision I think.

I’m any case congrats! Having options is great, and xhoosing is fun - i know it can be stressful but try to enjoy the process.

If you are a fresh grad and flexible with location/timings after the internship it might be worth a shot if it leads into better opportunities in the long run than the other role. You also may bag the return offer.

For now just say yes even if you arent 100% as you will have at least a few weeks before you start, many friends for companies like pwc and american express have accepted offers as backups and turned them down quite late. It may burn the bridge for that particular role in the short term but in a couple years the HR members will likely be different in a couple years time

Agreed with @manager 1, doing the internship either way and taking up a job in the other area if the internship isnt a career you want to pursue is probably the best play with your current cards
