Last week, I had an exploding offer from a company and since the compensation was nice enough, I accepted it. Today, I received another offer which is 15k more than what I have been offered by the company whose offer I have already accepted. I haven't started the employment with new employer yet, since things are in background check, Would it be advisable to get back to them this information to know where they could match the compensation? Or would this be considered very negative since I have already said yes for a lesser offered salary.?
They can basically revoke your offer of employment since you have not technically started. In your case you can either come up with a good reason to the current future employer and take the new offer or just give it up. Assuming it is at will any party can let go of each other at anytime, without reason.
Yeah, you are correct, it's at will basis. I am just thinking to bring this to their notice and know whether there is a possibility of matching it. Nothing else I have in mind
I would advise not to do it based on that risk since if you like the other company better you would have spurned your orig signed offer.
You can stop working with them any time, even if you accepted the offer, like they may say you goodbye one day without time to prepare. $15k doesn’t sound too much, if you really want to work from them you can ask them if they can match. They most likely will say something like “this is maximum we can offer so far”. So the question is not whether to ask or not but what to do if they will not match. If you like them more you can say ok this is what I expected and start working.
Before saying yes for their offer, I negotiated once and I got a 8k raise on the salary they offered to me first time. Later, I didn't negotiate for more since, I think it would look like I am being too money minded, but I could be wrong
You can tell them truth you have an offer, you didn’t have it when negotiated previous numbers, and ask if they could match. They probably will not, but there is a little chance they will.
No real reason not to ask. You only hurt your TC by not. If you don’t, until you gained 15k in raises then you haven’t broken even yet alone made any additional money. All you did was take X years to make up for what you left behind.
no it is not
Just imagine, this company found another developer who is ok to be payed 15k less. Can they ask you to have some pay cut? 15k... This is long term relationship
What’s the tc?
130k base
Once you accepted the offer, you cannot ask for more money. Also once you accept the offer and don't join the company, you may probably be blacklisted by them for a long time. What is their current offer? What is 15k in terms of percentage?
Not a good idea. You will create a poor impression with hiring manager going in. If I am the hiring manager, I would pull back the offer since I consider candidate to be shortsighted especially.when just asking for x% more.
Very sad that you would do that. How is that shortsighted? If they don’t get that 15k now, they have to work X yrs for raises to just make up for it. That is long term thinking and shortsighted.
That sounds like a bad move. They might give you more. But they might just reject the offer and maybe even blacklist you. I personally verbally accepted one offer cause they wanted me to give them a decision same day. I got better offer week later from somewhere else. So I told the other company, that I do not want to work there and there was a miss-communication. They were pissed but actually wanted me, and they even tried to give me better offer. I did what I did cause I didn't want to work there. I wanted to work in the other company. So no loose for me cause I'd probably not go back in the future. But if you just want to beat the offer and really go to that company, I would not mess around.

Would you back out if they said no to matching the other offer?
Most probably not, but I wanna try and see.
What if they back out and rescind your offer because you’re trying to get more after accepting? Are you willing to take that risk?
