I accepted an offer for a "safe" job because of this uncertain job market, but now I have major regrets after digging into their internal culture. I haven't started there yet, but my instinct is telling me it's a bad move. How do I professionally decline an offer I already accepted?

Do you have any other options on the table right now? If not, why not just see it through and form your own opinion first? You never know, especially if it’s a large company, culture differs widely between various groups/teams/projects.

It's better to scratch for jobs while you have a job than when you do not have a job

Give it a go, you never know until you are actually there. If you received a better offer, then please accept the better offer and politely decline the previously accepted offer.

I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
