Accepting an offer, then going on a callback?

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Oct 07, 2015 6:07 pm

I already accepted one offer because time was running out (it was my only one) but I now have a late callback with another firm that is honestly more attractive. Is it possible to do the callback? What potential blowback would there be?

This one has the practice area I actually want to do the most.

The other does not.

Is the callback in the same market as the firm you've already accepted from?

Yeah, potential blowback is blowing up everything and ending up with nothing. You decide if the risk is worth the reward. I say don't do it, you have an offer, protect that bitch.
