I'm moving from industry to consulting and accepted an offer with a pretty big firm (not Big 4 or MBB). I already put in two weeks notice with my current company.

I just had a final round interview with a Big 4 firm and I received an email today that suggests I will be receiving an offer from them.

If the Big 4 firm presents a comp package that matches or exceeds the offer I accepted, I will most likely accept their offer.

How do I go about navigating reneging the first offer I accepted?

Got it, so let them know that I've accepted this other offer but I am more interested in them? However, they'll need to beat the first offer?

You can say you have another offer but I’d omit saying you’ve accepted it. Reneging is not looked upon favorably.

So they gave me the verbal offer, I'm just waiting on the written offer to come in. I asked them about the details of the background check for verifying employment. They basically said they're just going to confirm that I actually worked at the company, not really verify start and end dates. It seems like I won't need to bring up when my end date with my current company is.

Additional questions - should I let the Big 4 firm know that I accepted an offer with the other firm but am more interested in them? Just in case this pops up in my background check.

Should I let them know I already put in my two weeks notice in case that also comes up in my background check?

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
