Need Advice on Backing Out of an Accepted Job Offer

I accepted an offer from Company A but explored other options and recently got a better offer from Company B. I’ve had second thoughts about Company A, and I’ve learned their salaries are often paid late.How should inform Company A that I won’t be joining them?

ask the company to extend the joining date, make up some issue, but make it look genuine

I recommend being straightforward with them. Get in touch with their HR and inform them that regrettably, you'll not be able to join them as you're accepting another offer. This is routine enough for them. Not everyone with an offer joins. They might match that other offer or not.

Will it be problematic if I have signed their offer letter?

If you've accepted any form of joining or relocation bonus that's contingent on your staying on for a year, etc. You'll have to return that. But otherwise there should be no problem. Have you joined Company A ?

Why inform?. Just don't turn up. If the rangoli people (HR), call, tell them you will get back asap.

Whats with salaried people and morality?

@Qwerty2398 the company will not show you this much politeness when they have to fire you.
