Reneging on offer to accept another from the same firm
Hello everyone,
I have an odd dilemma. I verbally accepted (but did not sign a contract yet) an offer for a back office Risk role at a BB. This is not a role I'm particularly interested in, but a recruiter contacted me and as I'm desperate for a job I interviewed and got the role quickly. A front office role at the same bank has just made me a verbal offer out of the blue after interviewing for months. I am far more interested in this role- it's exactly what I want to be doing. However, a written offer has not yet been delivered to me and will take a couple of days. I cannot hold off the back office role any longer and either have to renege on my verbal offer or sign the binding contract.
Neither recruiter is aware I have an offer from a different division of the firm. They don't even work out of the same office.
Thoughts on how to handle? What are the odds, given the time of year, that the front office role doesn't get formally approved after I back out of the other role and I'm left without any job at all? Can I even renege on the back office offer without losing the other offer?
Reneg and push for a fast physical offer to sign for the front office.
Reneg. Take front office
Want to renege on the company you are joining this summer - for another position within that company? (Originally Posted: 04/15/2018)
Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I just wanted to know what's the protocol on wanting to renege on a position within a company for another position in that same company (but different location)?
For context, I will be joining a large bank as a full-time analyst in the NYC office this summer. However, because I am originally from the SF area, I would ideally want to transfer there in the future regardless. Recently, I noticed that a position directed towards the Class of 2018 opened up at the SF office. Although the position is slightly different, I am equally as interested in both positions. How bad would it be if I inquired HR or someone else within the company about this new position in the SF office, especially considering that I start so soon?
Wouldn't be a good look since you're screwing the company over by reneging.
