I accepted a job offer as a campus hire with a T2 (maybe T3?) consulting firm and just received a verbal offer from Accenture for the CDP program. Total comp is higher with Acc. I accepted the first offer because I thought I bombed the interview with Accenture. Any advice on how to proceed? I know I should take Accenture but I guess I feel bad dejecting an offer I signed?

Take the better offer; if you don’t plan to return to the company you signed with then no harm. It’s a bridge burned but this is business. And it’s is your career so don’t feel bad.

Wait until you have a offer in hand with Accenture and take it back to the company you said yes to.

Say “I had a company come back to me with a longer application process and wanted to let you know they offered me X”. See if you can leverage that to a higher offer with them (if you like them better) and if you haven’t already started, it’s not the worst thing in the world - they haven’t started training you and they haven’t staffed you yet either.

Thanks for the advice. I’m going to wait until I receive the written offer. In these situations is it alright to just email the recruiter or is a phone call best? I guess I just hate the feeling of disappointing others or going back on my word but I have to remember that this is business.

Just email the recruiter back once you sign with Accenture saying, you were in the process at the same time and while you enjoyed the company and the process and grateful for the offer, you have decided to go with another company. It’s not a big deal it happens every day.

what firm

Crowe is definitely a step below Accenture

As a campus hire you need to talk to your career department. You may have other repercussions if you renage. It is very common to be fined upwards of 5k and, potentially, lose other alumni association benefits.

I reneged an internship offer and sent an email basically saying I couldn't relocate. Then took ZS lmao....you'll be fine. Also if you're a senior signing FT who cares? Just don't renege ACN

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position. I keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
