Amazon vs Microsoft

Both of them in EU same city. Amazon Offer TC: 123K euros Microsoft Offer TC: 140K euros Both of them required to be on call, both positions seem good. Microsoft offered later after I signed for Amazon. I’m confused, people here don't like Amazon but I am not sure if it is that bad in Europe as well. Will it be a dick move to tell Amazon no, after signing contract?

No it won’t be a dick move. Amazon can fire you on the first day of employment, so it’s fair. You have not committed to a person but to a company m. Companies have no morals to worry about

This sounds high for europe, I’d presume it’s a more senior role so in that case I’d be more concerned about what you’ll be working on and culture fit than the TC. Culture wise, Amazon is more like the working cultures in US and east Asia while Microsoft is more like Europe.

As for dick move - it’s most likely illegal to reject if you signed already. Read your contract carefully they normally say you cannot break contract before employment starts.
