Just received a summer internship offer from a gov't position (think DOJ, US Attny, Dept of Homeland, DA...etc). I have not yet responded. Will I be given a time frame to accept? Like 2 weeks? Or must I accept immediately? If I accept, and something better comes along, can i renege?

Thanks.

Ask them for a timeframe. In my experience they will be nice and give you time.

Generally you shouldn't renege (once you've accepted somewhere you should withdraw from any open apps you have). I guess technically you can do whatever you want, but it's kind of a douche move.
