How do you go about rescinding a signed contract when you’ve found a better offer elsewhere? Will I get blacklisted from the big 4?

No, the recruiter will bounce from that firm within a year too. No institutional memory

As long as you're dealing in good faith and transparent to a certain extent

Example: PwC offers you $120K and EY $130K for basically the same role. If you prefer circumstances at PwC and like the situation there better, show then the $130K offer. If they really want you, they are not going to sweat $10K difference.

Even if a different role - probably won't have hard feelings if you have a good reason and are straight with them about it.

If you do something stupid like rescind the day before you're supposed to show up st training or something - then you may get blacklisted at that specific firm. Then again, if your skill set and knowledge are top notch, they may still hire you down the road 🤷🏿‍♂️

Yeah - but be very professional about it.

At worst, you will get blacklisted by the company you reneged on. That is probably not very likely either if they need you later
