How common is it to accept a job offer and later rescind it for a better offer? What are the cons?

Don’t plan on applying there for a while. You should be good though. They will be disappointed and try to convince you otherwise. It won’t feel good but you’ll forget about it.

Depends on what the better offer is, and who it came from.

If it's "Something came up, and I might need FMLA" and you stay at your current employer, they get over it.

If it's "Someone else offered me more money", they get all butthurt for a while. Even if they would have gladly canned you in a year in order to increase their bonus.

At the end of the day you need to do what’s best for you. Anyone convincing you to stay in a position where you are undervalued (assuming compensation is the issue) isn’t doing you any favors and IMO probably isn’t the individual I would want to work for. It’s a competitive market and they already know this.

It happens for sure. It might get you blacklisted but if it’s big 4 they’ll get over it after awhile.

I can rescind up to the day I am supposed to start, correct?

Yeah if you really put them in a tough spot and they rely on you starting you could get sued.

I just did this last year. I had some personal stuff going on that I leaned on a bit, but if you are upfront with the stakeholders they’ll get over it. Partner told me to call him whenever I was ready to make a move. It’ll be okay

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company.

I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing.

I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
