I want to accept an offer from big4 in hopes of joining them IF my current workplace (tiny startup) doesn’t increase my current comp. I also wanna accept to use that to leverage a potential full time offer from another contract consulting position. Its not definite but I’m hoping bringing up this one will accelerate it.
Is it unethical to accept an offer and undo it a couple of weeks before your start date? Don’t want to burn any bridges. The people are great everywhere.

I don’t see the advantage of accepting the offer if you’re using it as leverage. Tell B4 you need time to consider the offer, use that time to leverage with your current employer.

The offer should be enough of a burning platform for your employer to respond if they intend to. If not; it’s time to walk.

Accepting and reneging is messier than this needs to be.

You let your current company know about an offer ~before~ you accept to use it leverage.

Hi fishes
Need suggestion. Got an offer with a product company A through referrel with just 70% hike. They initially told me to not look for any offer as it is a referral.

Now, I got another offer with around 150% in another product company B. Joining date in both are by next week. How to politely reject the offer from Company A ( they won't match the new offer). I am afraid if there is any consequences.

Now giving interview with Chubb, Will Chubb match this offer?

Please guide me 🙏
