so i accepted my offer from a BIGLAW firm this summer, now a relative is telling me that they have some connections at other firms that I may be more interested in. Can I talk to the other firms?

I accepted an offer from a Vault 50 firm and then a week later got an offer from a SWeet botique firm in San Fran that paid BIG $ when the bonus was factored in.

I was too chicken shit to do anything and NOW I FUCKING HATE MY JOB.
