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
