As someone who has worked on the college recruiting side. This happens more times than people think. If you think it’s a better opportunity that aligns with what you want to do, then I would do it and let the company you’re leaving know ASAP. Just be ready to accept that you may not get another chance to work at the company you’re leaving anytime soon

We need more info.
Are both offers in the same industry?
Does you school's career center have policies against reneging?
Etc etc etc

The company isn’t going to be heartbroken about an intern bailing. Do what’s best for you

Agree^ if they were flexible with the first negotiation count that as a win and sign the line

Hi! The role I interviewed for has been deprioritised. Has anyone else experienced this? This was announced 2days before the hiring freeze.. should I assume the job will be cancelled?

Recruiter hasn’t been very responsive.

Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
