Possible Competing Offers Advice? /u/I_Am_A_N3rcc3ist CSCQ protests reddit

So X company has just given me an offer for a SWE intern and it’s fairly nice think Spotify, TikTok size but the thing is l’ve interviewed with a FAANG company Y which I highly prefer. I’m like 95% sure I got an offer because I solved the tech optimally with lots of remaining time and just had a conversation with the interviewer. But this FAANG takes super long to get back so l’m still waiting. I have high hopes but not certain.

So to be professional should I ask to extend my offer acceptance? or would this look poor? I also think I would definitely burn bridges by accepting the X company offer and then leaving once I get the Y FAANG company.

Anyone been in a similar situation and can provide advice?

TLDR: Company gave me offer but I prefer FAANG company which I’m sure will accept me but am still waiting. how should I go about this?
