I’ve accepted an offer last week but I am now regretting accepting it now. Is it too late to back out? Will I be burning all bridges?

Did you give your notice yet? Why are you regretting

Not yet - giving next week 😭🙄

I just did this. Forsure burned a bridge so make sure you’re not going to try to work at the firm in the future, but also if you don’t back out now, you likely will within a year and they’ll be wasting more money in resources and hiring someone else so in the long run it’s a good decision for both parties.

I did it three times the last time I looked. But only after the verbal offer because they didn't give me the opportunity to get back to them and they just assumed I had accepted. They are going to ask why so be sure to have that ready and it depends on the company and the person responsible for hiring which would determine whether it burns a bridge. I had one of the companies reach back out to me after several weeks to offer me more money and a title bump to reconsider. So it all depends.

Also are you just having cold feet or is there something you don't like about the company/position?

Why are you backing out?

I verbally accepted an offer and then backed out because of a better offer at another company. Be ready to explain why to them.
