Should I Start Applying for Mid Law Jobs on Symplicity for 2L SA?

I've noticed some jobs at mid sized law firms popping up on symplicity. As expected the pay is significantly less than for big law SA's (1500-2000/week). However, I'm not above anything at this point. The only hesitation I have is that, because these firms aren't NALP firms, they will have no incentive to keep their offer open through OCI. Should I just apply to keep my options open? And if they give me an offer with a short deadline I just decline?
Thanks for the advice

Well, seeing as you don't have anything in stone, I wouldn't worry about having to accept or reject an early offer until you get one. In the meantime, you could be missing out on jobs by waiting.
Not a difficult choice IMO.

Fair enough. I guess I was just wondering if there was any strategy to waiting a couple weeks, but I'll go ahead and apply.
