Reneging

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Oct 06, 2015 2:54 am

This has been discussed, but does anyone have any recent similar experiences they'd like to share? Had to accept my offer with Firm A before their deadline, few weeks later got offer from Firm B. Firm B is biglaw and thus pays almost twice as much as Firm A.

I don't feel great about it, but at the same time, offer letter explicitly states that I am at-will and that either of us can terminate the employment relationship for whatever reason. Obviously burning bridges, etc., but are there any other serious implications in making this move?
