Have you ever accepted a job offer and an even better opportunity came across shortly before the start date of first offer?

How did you manage the situation if you felt the second offer was an overall better opportunity set (comp, commute, title), but you already accepted first offer?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
