Is it ever a good idea to lie about having another offer? Forum

You're an idiot.

You are clearly brilliant and wise beyond your years.
Keep up the rock solid contributions you are making to the debate.
We need more of your posts, just like that one, helping to further the discussion.
You have a great future in front of you..... perhaps Tweeting. You have a talent at keeping it brief and to the point.

I have a feeling the banammer (or the banhatchet, or the "blown out torch") will be coming your way soon.

If you think it will give you a boost, consider the following: "I have not yet accepted an offer, but I would like to know as soon as possible."

There, you didn't lie. I have no problem with the statement above, because it is the truth.

/One thing the LSAT is good for- developing the ability to mislead without lying.

Do not lie. If they ask where the offer is from, you're screwed. If they say , sorry we can't move any faster but do what is best for you, you're screwed. Or they could always just say we were going to ding you anyway.
If they hire you and find out you lied to them, you're screwed.
So how does lying help you?

Don't think for a minute that partners and associates at firms won't check with their colleagues at other firms to see if you had an offer - so don't lie.
