I accepted a job offer recently, but have another interview coming up. What do I do?

Company A offered me a position. I tried to negotiate salary but they wouldnt negotiate. Interview with company B coming up, and I know they pay more. If I also get an offer from them, can I go back and try to negotiate even though I signed the offer letter? Also, can I just tell them I change my mind because I received a better offer or is that completely frowned upon?

If company B offers you a better job/better working conditions/more money take it.

tell company A they were outbid and thank them for their interest.

if they want to offer you more money they'll offer it then - or shortly after.

and don't feel bad about being at company A for a week or two and then saying "this isn't working, I'm going elsewhere"

@approachingmyexpirationdate is it a common thing for someone to do this type of thing? People will tell me "oh, you'll burn a lot of bridges if you do that" well its a small bank, so if I cant work at that bank anymore it's not a big deal. The only thing I do like is the location and the manager seems nice

@MntoNc here 8s the thing: you won't retire from the first job you take. A small bank is very political and if you hack off the wrong person then you are fired. (I have worked at a big ban and a small one)

Bigger banks will have more promotional opportunities. And if they are regional you can even work for the same company in a different location

If you don't get a job offer from comany b then learn what you can as quickly as you can in company a.

That will help you get your next job that will pay better.
