Got an offer from a big four (which I have recently signed). But now have a much better offer from another Big four (better salary, team, culture etc). They were definitely my first choice. What are my options, should I go back on my previous signed offer, can I even do that ?

Tell them as soon as possible that you changed your mind and won’t be joining them. They won’t be very happy but the sooner you do it the better. That’s it.

I agree with above, I’d be inclined to put in writing the competing offer was better at another big4 so your reasoning is logged.

Here’s a hypothetical:

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
