Hi, So I recently accepted a full time offer on Monday which will be my first gig after college.However, on Thursday morning I got a unexpected email for the job of my dreams asking me to come in for a interview. The job I had originally accepted isnt not where near my ideal job. I only accepted it so I can have a job upon graduation. What should I do? Should I wait 6-12 months and re apply to my dream job or take the interview opportunity( assuming I eventually get the job) and rescind my original offer?

You already know the answer. Crush the interview and hopefully go work for your dream job.
But would rescinding my offer hurt my name in the long run ? I can always re apply with better experience and increase my chances. The firm i originally signed the offer with has very close ties when my university.
I'd go ahead and reneg on the offer if you get the dream job. Nobody is going to know the name of some kid who pulled out of an offer.
Companies rescind offers, you’d be reneging on your job offer acceptance.
If those two companies aren’t in the same industries or competitors you’re fine
Keep the job and take the interview. a bird in hand is better than nothing in hand- renege if you get the job of your dreams... should not be a problem given you are not that enthusiastic about the job you accepted who cares about the connections the firm has with your school... they can get other folks if they want
I have some insight on this and have consulted mentors. Most jobs are are at will employment, meaning you or the company can end the employment contract at any time. If its your dream job, then do it but send a very respectful email to whoever you're leaving. You'll burn some bridges but as long as you dont mention the company youre going to youll be fine. But only do this if you get the offer and once background/drug tests clear.
