Absolutely. People do it all the time. Employers know the game. Why not try to use the offer of one to negotiate with the other? Also, be mindful that you accepting the offer and then dropping could leave a bad taste in their mouth. Which could lead to them not wanting to hire you in the future.

Yes. People do it all the time. At the end of the day you have to accept the offer that is best foryou

You can, it is pretty common, but make sure you don't do it in a small industry where you burn bridges with one of the only two companies that will hire you. Be careful if this is you.

You could, but you're burning a bridge with one so I'd be pretty careful - esp if you do it RIGHT before the joining date. That's pretty uncool.

HA! Of course not right before the joining day!! But what do you tell the company?

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
