Can I unaccept an accepted job offer if I get a better offer? What are the implications?

You can but like others said. Unless it’s a day night difference in numbers I would not do it. Unless the other company is apple and one you accepted is a dole pineapple farm

You can always present the other offer as a counter

Does that work after you’ve accepted the offer but haven’t started yet? I’m in a similar situation where the offer I accepted is literally only a 5k increase in salary and it’ll be a boomerang back to a firm I previously worked at whereas another new offer I just received is a 15k hike plus 15k in sign on bonus. It’s hard to turn down the money but I feel terrible about burning a bridge where I have lots of connections.

Hello all - I have been offered a role with a big 4 in Canada for the "Manager" level. Since, it is a new market, I am unaware of the salary benchmark and big4 pay range in Canada.

It would be of great help if you could assist with the pay range for a Manager working for a big4 in Canada? I do have a ball park figure in mind, after researching a bit online. But, if anyone actually knows that pay range in Canada, please let me know.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis?

I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...
