What do when you’ve already accepted a job offer but then received a better offer? Does it look bad on you to decline the first offer?

I recently switched to a developer role in a product based company from a support engineer for past 4 years in a service based company. I got a good hike as well.

Since I did it I think anyone can do it. Let me know if my experience can be of your any help.
Happy to help!

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

How to set boundaries and how to create a work life balance .I have always struggled with setting boundaries and taking up things more than I could eventually do.

Any advice for someone with 5YOE in strategy consulting with finance background wanting to switch into PMM? PMM role interests me, but since I don’t work in tech space currently, I’m wondering where to start or if I could even switch over without taking a more junior role/a pay cut

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

I'll stick around for the bonus but want to make my side hustle my main career next year.
The side hustle is Scentsy...

I don’t have a horse in this fight

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
