Offer rescinded for asking for deadline extension?
I received an offer as a 2021 new graduate for $60,000. Initially I was given 5 days to accept the offer. I politely requested a deadline extension of 3 days and re expressed my interest, and I got my offer withdrawn from the C.O.O. This company has around 70 employees
Is this a common thing as a new graduate? I thought the worst that can happen is them saying “no”. I didn’t expect the extreme side of my offer getting withdrawn
I’m so down now after going through so many applications and interview rejections, just when I land an offer I get it rescinded. I got a response saying that the c.o.o really doesn’t appreciate being treated as a “backup option”, and says I have absolutely no leverage as a “young person”.
This coo was also calling and interviewing me at random unscheduled times even when I gave him my availabilities. I know it’s not a place I would want to work if I was in a better position. But as a new graduate i just can’t afford to be selective with companies.

Why did you ask for a deadline extension in the first place if you weren’t in a position to be selective?
He probably sensed you weren’t thrilled with the offer and company and would likely be an attrition risk from day 1; so it just wasn’t a good fit on either end
The way they delivered the message and treated your schedule during the interview window wasn’t professional tho
