I got a 2nd job offer after formally accepting another (both start in 2.5 weeks).
Job Offer 2 salary is a few grand more than Offer 1(already acceted) AND pays 100% of health/dental/vision premiums, which will save me another few thousand a year.
Both jobs are in a city notorious for it's high cost-of-living (my partners job is moving us from the midwest to SF this summer), so several thousand dollars difference *WILL* be noticeable.
Is it too late to use Offer 2 to negotiate Offer 1?

Not too late. You can use this to counter, but also be mindful so you don’t burn bridges

Excluding salary, which job do you actually want? You can use Offer 2 to negotiate something better with Offer 1 but be prepared to compromise if they won’t match it. Or be prepared to take Offer 2.

I want Offer 1 but would love if they could do anything to supplement the 5-7kish value that Offer 2 gave me

Even if you’d already started job #1, it still wouldn’t be too late. Do what’s best for YOU, not a company that at the end of the day, likely doesn’t care that much about you.
