Hi folks
I wanted a suggestion from you all guys, I have given interview of PS and got a call for offer after interview and I denied the offer as I have received an offer from some other company, I denied coz I was not doing offer shopping or piling offers, he tried to convince me and when I didn't get convinced he said to blacklist me from PS. What to do?

Maybe not the cockiest but the most judgmental:
I like to ask people in interviews about what they read - for fun or for ongoing education. This one guy interviewing for a AAE role said, “Harvard Business Review - not sure if you would have heard of it.”
Would love this question in an interview
Not cocky, but I once had a mom call to negotiate a salary offer on behalf of her son. Taken aback, I thought, “What the fresh hell is this?” And then I gently explained that’s not quite how things work in the adult world.
No. If he let me down, I could always call his mom. Also, I learned, to the detriment of my waistline, that woman can bake.
"I want an easy summer internship where I don't need to think too hard."
BM1 - Some summer interns are worth their weight in gold. The ones that are driven to be in this industry, want to prove themselves, and know an internship is a foot in the door. Those were the ones that made running the internship program worth it. I can name 2 CDs, 1ACD, 1 GAD, 1 global strat lead, and a VPAD that all started as one of my interns.
Unfortunately its when Leadership inserted themselves and promised all their friends' kids jobs that the internship program became a waste of time and did more harm than good. I've seen places where the summer interns knew they had more power than Directors and abused the shit out of it.
“I’m directed by my physician to eat two serving sizes of sardines three times a week for lunch.”
How the hell did that even come up? Did you ask him what he’d been up to, and he was just confused on how to answer a normal question or just completely out of left field?
Had a candidate tell me she had visited our New York office on a college class trip and knew “all the big clients” were based there. Then proceeded to name accounts that were, in fact, managed out of Chicago where she was actually interviewing. When I corrected her and reminded her that we were sitting in Chicago and I think I knew what we handled there, she told me “no, I was there, you’re wrong.” Ah, to have the confidence of a 22 year old again.
Entry level interviewees shitting on the agency or industry. Best of luck...
I once had a intern candidate upon receiving the offer she asked for 3 weeks to think and wait to see if she gets another offer. Of course I was like “pass” immediately and stopped responding to her. She emailed me a few days later saying she decided to take the summer off exploring traveling or whatever and will reach back out when she feels like working later. Never seen such entitlement it blew my mind.
bb your problem was offering it to an ivy league kid... try expanding your applications to public universities too sweaty.
