[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is an incoming senior. She accepted an internship offer at a small company in a field she is not very interested in a couple of weeks ago out of fear of not having anything else. As pure feast or famine fashion has it, she has received three internship offers since then after months of silence and ghosting. She is pretty confident she will get the internship she had an interview for last Thursday. It is for a bigger company and seems more flexible with hours. Most importantly, felt her conversation with the hiring manager was like a mother daughter or friend talk, not a nervous, boss kind of interview that she has experienced with many other hiring managers over the past few months. She is expecting to hear back early this week about the decision for her first choice. If she gets this opportunity, will it look bad to renege on the offer she already accepted. She already has her background check cleared for the company and is just waiting to start the onboarding process this week with HR. Is this foolish and will the company be very mad? [/quote]

Go for it. Come up with a good reason.. Grandma sick, have to stay close, etc. Do not disclose where she is going. Just don't update Linkedin as to where she is going for a while.. just in case that company knows someone there and may sabotage things.

Companies won't think for a minute if they have to rescind offers (and they have done so a lot this season) and they don't spend time thinking if the candidate will be 'mad', so don't feel guilty.[/quote]

Could the other company she rescinds from legally be allowed to sabotage her? The other offer is for a company in a completely different field. Example its not like Deloitte over PwC[/quote]

Like find out who she went with and call them?  I guess but it would be silly.

Would they sue her?  I mean I can't 100% say they wouldn't but it would be a very dumb thing for them to do and no one should want to work for a company that would.[/quote]
