Is it worth it to renege an offer? I am currently working at EY. My working visa is going to expire so I started to look for a job at KPMG. I got an offer from KPMG and already signed it. But now EY wants me back. Is that okay for renege an offer?

Might burn some bridges but it could be worth it long term. Frankly, I think people overemphasize the potential negatives of reneging

Unfortunately, I have had to renege on a few offers in the past when circumstances unexpectedly changed

It's better to renege an offer than to quit a month in my opinion. I have done it before and the company just said best of luck, no hard feelings. You should do whatever is in your best interest.

You can renege, but don’t expect call backs when you apply there down the road. Do what is best for you, both companies will survive and forget about you in a week either way.

Go to Grand Cayman and don’t think twice. If you’re comfortable be honest and say that job security is a big factor given the current economic climate.

You can keep the lines of communication open for future opportunities and I think it’s understandable, especially if you got a great counter.

Are there any debt consolidation options for a professional family man with a decent credit score, who's let high interest credit card debt get out of hand? I get the mailers that entice with a low advertised rate, and then the offer comes back at something slightly less than what I am already paying. I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.

I’m loyal to delta, but I’m moving to a city where American is the main hub and Delta has practically no non-stop flights to/from there. It’s time for me to open a new credit card, so I was considering the Citi/American one. Any thoughts?
