[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a CS major in a top 10 CS program. He did internship at a financial institution the summer between freshman and sophomore. I know he applied to lots of companies (like 100) and began the process back in August/Sept his freshmen year. He is not picky on location for the internship and lived out of town for the summer (June-Aug) with two friends in an Airbnb. His paycheck covered his living expenses.

He is going into the summer between his sophomore and junior year now. He’s had several offers and worked extremely hard over the Christmas break. He did lots of applications, coding competitions and interviews. I know he told his sibling that coding competitions are critical and he felt behind in this area compared to his peers. He has landed offers at 1 financial firm, 1 SaaS software firm, 2 Silicon Valley startups, and 1 FAANG. He is most interested in one of the startups and the FAANG. [/quote]

Honest question, how does a kid handle multiple offers, don't they have to accept or reject an offer when they get it or do they just accept all until they get the best and then go back and reject the ones they accepted before? Wouldn't that be burning bridges at those companies? I genuinely ask this because my kid was faced with a similar situation of where they got an interview call from a more desired place after they accepted an offer, so they politely turned down the interview offer as they have already committed to an offer.[/quote]
