Accepted offer, but want to now accept a different one
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 16th, 2012 8:34 AM Author: Rebellious garrison death wish I got an offer about a week ago at Firm A. Firm A is still doing background check/conflicts check, etc., and no official start date is set.
Meanwhile, before and since this offer, I was interviewing at other firms. I got another offer for about 30K more that I want to take.
How bad is it to back out of Firm A and tell them I found something better? |

Date: June 16th, 2012 4:33 PM Author: Rebellious garrison death wish Thanks for the advice in this thread. I think the environment may be slightly better in Firm A but I'm not sure about that anyway and at this point in my life the money is more important.
Bonus structure in Firm B could make it more like a 50K or more difference.
I'm about 90% sure I'll be calling Firm A Monday morning to turn it down. Firm B's offer is official, they already did the checks they are going to do.

Tell them you're having medical troubles but are making the work up from home/anticipate getting better soon. The weekend time will solidify your ruse. By the time you get canned at A you'll have copped $$$ for little additional work. Then segue back into fulltime at Firm B. Profit.

tell Firm A that you got a better offer. ask them to BEAT the offer (or match it), or you'll go to the other firm. make it a bidding war.
(you all are retarded. that has to be repeated.) |

Date: June 17th, 2012 12:24 PM Author: Razzmatazz Alcoholic Preventive Strike I guess it is implied you actually accepted Firm A's offer? If so, there are ways to go about backing out, but you don't do it with a phone call. It is a bit delicate, and you don't want to piss people off, seriously.
I would talk to someone IRL -professor, career services, etc about it. |
