This is not a sustainable long-term strategy for most people. You know what is? Walking away from the offer immediately when it has an overly-aggressive expiration date and letting them know the reason.

Absolutely. I got two exploding offers in my career and I declined them on the spot. Both companies later returned with better offers and longer timelines. There's really no reason to let a company push you around. Just walk away.
