I have an offer from Uber Eats SF for a Data Scientist position. I am also interviewing with other companies including Uber ATG for AI Scientist, Deep Learning/ML Specialist roles. Uber Eats 's willing to better their offer only if I accept their offer and cancel immediately all interviews that I have scheduled (including ATG). Is this reasonable for a recruiter to ask?? What are the implications of accepting Eats but not canceling other interviews? Or, being open to them about completing my interviews with ATG?

Background: ML PhD student focussing on large scale ML, optimization

Update:
Well, I asked for some bump in the offer.. the recruiter said she will get back to me and remained silent for a week (almost ghosted me).. when I finally checked - I got the following reply-

“Thank you for following up. As of last week, the offer was what we originally put together for you with no adjustment. The offer is also past it's expiry date. If you do want to move forward with Uber then let me know by close of business today, otherwise you are more than welcome to revisit working at Uber in the future.
Let me know if you have any questions”

Must say I am rather annoyed with their attitude!!!
