What are the odds you can accept an offer a month after rejecting it? Think I made the wrong choice

I've done it. Just be completely honest. Everyone makes mistakes. They were very understanding and I'm so glad I went back and asked for another chance.

What's the worse they can say, no?

There is no offer if you rejected it. Companies don't present standing offers. And why would a firm want you if you originally declined. If you owned a company, what would you think of someone like you who doesn't know what they want? If anything, they'll be glad they dodged a bullet with you.

Update: they're extending another offer 💃🏼

It's your life, don't let societal "norms" or feeling bad about going back on a commitment prevent you from making the best decision for you.

A month though...that job might be gone

Zero. At the associate level nobody is going to put up with this one month lag. That position is already gone.

Cero

If the job were still available that would be one thing, but as everyone said, it's unlikely to have stayed unfilled unless they were looking for a very specific skill set.

Whoops I read the post opposite. Nvm

They are looking for a specific skill set. Thanks for the honest opinions though

I joined JPMC today as an Associate in Plano, TX. I got another offer at Morgan Stanley (Associate too) in NYC. I like the team at MS better and I have always wanted to work in NYC and would have started looking for opportunities 6-12 months down the line.
I'm on my F1 visa (OPT) and it's my first job ever (also first job in the US). MS is aware of my situation and is fine if I work for a month at JPMC and switch over. But I don't want it to have a negative impact on my career and my future!
