RBC folks - I accepted an offer from a team but now I want to pull out. I did some thinking and connected with my mentors and I believe that this won’t help me with my career goals. Is it too late? Will I be blacklisted?
I had asked the HM for offer acceptance extension but they didn’t want to, so I accepted it. But now I worry if this role will take my career in a direction where I don’t want to go.
Will I be blacklisted now?I know it’s not professional but will I lose any future opportunities?

It might impact your ability to get roles at the same company in the near future, but other than that, I wouldn't worry about being blacklisted. This type of thing happens all the time. Just be professional about it. Thank them for the opportunity, but let them know that after further consideration, you've decided to rescind your acceptance and go in a different direction. At the end of the day, you have to put yourself first. Business is business.

No. They aren’t having that hard of a time, it’s a massive Canadian bank. You’ll just be a number there. I promise, they don’t care. Remember, the hiring managers job is to also sell you the position. Of course they are going to tell you that, they’ve got a job to do. Literally the moment you send the email that’ll be the end of it.

I don't think they will blacklist you. I had the same incident when I was hiring and if you're applying within the same department team, they'll probably remember you and not consider you again, but if you apply within another area/team, then I don't think the other team would know what you did. Backing out of an offer is a not reason to blacklist someone. But just be professional about it when backing out.

Hey, I was wondering if you can accept my DM so we can chat?

Which team was it for? Maybe I can give some insights

Sure

Reneging is made to seem more no-go than it actually is so the firms in general can benefit from trapping you

I wouldn't necessarily think they would blacklist you. But I think it would hurt your career a little one way or another. However, I would do the same if I was in your position.

Can you elaborate why you said it would hurt my career? How would it hurt?

I don't think you will be blacklisted but you know for sure that once you reneged on an offer, there is a great possibility that you will never be considered ever again for the same position.

I’m fine because the reason I’m leaving this role is because I don’t see my career in this role. So I would never want this role. But I don’t want to burn bridges with RBC as an organization because there are other roles I would like to work in.

I don't really think so. The best you can do is stay for a couple of months and then quit.

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

Do you think it is time to find another job when your PIC is a micro manager, never trained you when you got hired, expects you to know things no one ever told you about in the first place, texts and calls you in the morning with questions you don’t have an answer to (I work evening shift so I’m mostly sleep when he reaches out), assumes the worst about everything, plots against you anyway, lies all the time, they don’t even do their job, they leave their trash behind etc. gives me anxiety.
