Can I renege due to "personal reasons" or does that seem shady? I have some family stuff I need to tend to and don't want to start a new job now.

Talk to them first and see if they can postpone two-three months. If not, then renege

I was trying to renege when I joined GT. MY mother had just died and they said to take whatever time you need. That convinced me that the company was willing to work with me and I am forever grateful

You can make this work! But you do need to take the time and resolve the open issues

Same here for EY. I pushed back my start for about 2.5 months. Thank goodness, because it was unexpected and I was bursting into tears with no warning. It is crazy and appreciated to actually be supported and not worried about the job, while in the throes of first grief.

Talk to them about your needs. I’ve had candidates renege for “personal reasons, just can’t make it work now” who have another role a month later. Super shady. If you explain it and they work with you, awesome. If they won’t, you prob didn’t want to work there anyway

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

Launching an apparel brand with my cousin! I’ve always been more business savvy, and she’s a graphic designer. We were thinking we would first try print on demand to see how it starts out (and not dedicate too much time since I work a 40 hour work week still), then can eventually shift to distributing it out ourselves. What are some tips or advice for launching a brand? What are some websites/programs/tools you can’t live without?

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)
