[Choosing Between Multiple Offers] Do you regret not joining a company?

Hi all, I received an offer from a company and signed an offer letter which stated that I have to pay them waiting period money if I'm not joining them. Now I've got a better offer from another organisation. Will there be any legal repercussions if I don't join them. I feel bad they have actually waited for me for 3 months but the company is very small and scared of job security. What can I do in this situation.

I am a software engineer with approx 3 YOE. I have offers from two companies both of which have their own merits and demerits. I'm having a hard time deciding which company should I join. Mentioning the details of the companies and offer below: Company A: 1. Public company (not profitable, but good revenue growth over the last two years) 2. Get to join an existing team and project to work on interesting distributed systems challenges 3. Salary: 60 LPA cash + 10 LPA RSUs (with annual refresher grants) 4. Fully remote, don't need to relocate 5. Career growth would be typical to that offered by a large startup (around 2000 employees) Company B: 1. Private company, profitable, excellent revenue growth, planning to IPO in the next 3 years at a ~$10B valuation (which is reasonable considering their growth) 2. Get to be a founding engineer of a new team and work on a completely new project, involving very hard distributed systems challenges 3. Salary: 41 LPA cash + 3000 NSO units (will increase as I get promoted) 4. Hybrid, need to relocate to a different city 5. Excellent career growth opportunity as the project has a visibility at a senior executive level

And whether to join there or not. Please share your experiences or any red flag you noticed, would be very helpful for our community. Thanks in advance

Sorry for being a pussy but I'm very new to this. So I accepted an offer from a company and did the BGC docs and all. 2 month later, now I have a better offer that I want to join. I'm sure I don't want to join the first company. Was gonna call the HR now, but what do I say??

Back in 2018, I had an offer from a fast-growing fintech startup. The salary was lower, the hours looked brutal, and the whole thing seemed risky. I chose to stay at my comfortable Big Tech job instead. Fast forward to now: that startup just went public, and early employees are instant millionaires. Meanwhile, I'm still grinding away at the same desk, wondering "what if?" Has anyone else passed up a high-risk, high-reward opportunity for security? How do you cope with the regret?

Have received an offer from a start up of about 50 people, recently got funded. My current role is APM , from past almost 2 years and while it's not perfect, Its reasonably okay. What considerations should be taken before deciding to make the switch?

1. Is it mandatory to join a company after accepting the offer letter, especially when someone has got the interview through referral and cracked it. 2. If no, then how to convey it to the recruiter in a good way?

Hi, I’ve an offer from company A and giving interviews for company B, company B is better but my joining in company A is around 18th, until then my company B process won’t get over, what do I do? Can I take company B after joining Company A? Pls tell the pros and cons/consequences

This could be a rookie question, but what exactly are the implications of accepting the official offer letter and then not joining the company? Any legal issues can come? If not, then what's the point of all those formalities- these guys even capture the IP address, signature etc when the offer is accepted. Why all that fuss? Also, when exactly does an individual become an actual employee of a company? I mean, at what point of the on boarding procedure do I legally become an employee?
