can i decline an offer i excepted yesterday?
Hi, I ended a contract in June and been actively looking and been interviewing aggressively. I got a great offer yesterday, money and benefits are great, commute can take about an hr each way. I excepted the offer since I don’t have anything at the moment. Today I got another offer with a very large company, very close to home, pays not as much but benefits are good. I live in Atlanta and a short commute helps and in terms of stability, I think the larger company can offer that in today’s time where lay offs happening every where. My question is can I legally turn down the offer I just accepted?
Of course you can. It's a free country. U shouldn't though say "excepted" where u meant "accepted".
I cringed at this, hard.
Yes. I did too.
It's a free country, do whatever you want.
Except ofcourse
You can recant your acceptance, but if you had a signing bonus you’d very likely have to give it back, and you may not get a chance to work at that company again in the future (but that’s not always the case).
Seems like a case where you misplayed your hand.

Be selfish. Don't worry about what they think. Do what's best for you..
It's employment at will. If your will changed, you quit. After 1 day or 1000.
