If you have not received any offers by this point I would encourage you to look for/accept an RA position. It might still be possible you get interviews since some schools seem delayed with their interviews so if you currently have an offer I would say maybe wait one more week before officially accepting. If they have a deadline that you need to respond to their work offer by then you should seriously consider accepting (if that's a job you actually want). Unless you sign a contract binding you to their employment for the next year or so, you can still theoretically reject a job after a few months if you get an acceptance to a grad program. They can't force you stay there and work. 

Thank you so much! This was very helpful to hear. Good luck to all of you looking into back up options, hopefully next round of applications will be better for us.

Is it too early in the application process to accept an RA position for next year? I have gotten a couple grad school rejections and no interview offers at this point

I saw a post on the results page that said all interviews for NYU have been sent out...has anybody else heard that?
