[quote=Anonymous]Of course you can do this, if you think it's the right move in your situation. I've seen it happen a couple times. I think what you need to consider, however, is whether you are comfortable with completely burning a bridge with this company, because that's what will most likely happen. At my previous workplace, someone accepted a position, went through the whole security clearance process, but then took another position somewhere else at the last minute. That person ended up applying repeatedly for the same position later, but we had no interest in taking a chance on them again. Likewise someone did this at my current workplace recently--accepted a position only to back out shortly afterwards. I think it was for understandable reasons, but again, the bridge is burned.

Sometimes it may still make sense, but I would just consider whether there's likely to be any negative impact on your reputation, particularly if you're in a niche field where everyone talks to each other, or there's a chance you'd want to return to this company down the road.[/quote]
