I have a question. I currently have three offers. I accepted the KPMG offer because they gave me only one week to make a decision. However, during my notice period, I received two more offers, and now I’m leaning toward joining another company.

How do people generally handle this situation? Is it common to decline a company after accepting the offer letter but before joining? How would you professionally communicate that decision to the recruiter or hiring manager?

You can drop a mail and decline the offer. It won't be any problem.
I'd done similar before my last switch.

It’s normal, just drop a mail

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer?

I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
