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?

Never let go of a bird in the hand, unless you’re absolutely positive you truly have job B and have actually been [u]hired[/u].

@LadyGrace yeah, I know. Do you think company A will be willing to negotiate if I do get the other job?

Maybe. Not sure. They may think you weren’t that serious about the job they gave you, if you were considering another. I doubt it. They may think you’re not trustworthy. @MntoNc

They should know I was serious based on how many times I followed up with them, and my thank you emails after the interview

@MntoNc Doesn’t matter. You’ll lose their trust.
