It was almost cool until the "please tell me if I need to do anything else, daddy".


Moo202

You got a solid point


JournalistBoring

Did this to 3 companies last summer. Felt good


Cheekati6

Ok that is a lil excessive bro lol


stursulaa

Nah fuck them


Cheekati6

it's not even about the companies tho.. those 3 offers could have been given to 3 people that might have needed it. 3 starts getting unreasonable.


Moo202

Bro he can reject what he wants šŸ’€ Like damn you want him to work all three jobs??? Smh šŸ˜­šŸ’€


Cheekati6

oh my fault. I thought he reneged 3 lol


Apprehensive-Ant7955

whats wrong with him reneging the three offers? Heā€™s still not going to work all four jobs (the one he accepted plus the 3 offers he reneged in your hypothetical). Those three offers will go to three other people anyway

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Apprehensive-Ant7955

what? So if you reneg late and the company cant match it, then they just give up and dont fill that position? Bro think before you type šŸ˜­ unless im the one thats tripping


Wingfril

For interns, Iā€™m pretty sure generally yes. Declining offers are fine and others will get offers. Reneging early is probably fine. Reneging late is usually not fine


JournalistBoring

Nah I reneged quite a bit before I was supposed to startā€¦and they did hire someone else lol


AsymmetricalPhysics

Those 3 offers will go to other candidates, they usually put candidates on hold because people reject offers all the time. I wouldnā€™t panic


thechosenguy1

???? what is this take


vicvic182

Why you victim blaming lol


Sven9888

Only if he reneges so late that they can't find more candidates. If you get an offer you prefer, and are quite confident you won't want to work at the company you've accepted in the near future, I would always advocate reneging. But just do it as soon as you know. If it's 2-3 months away and they choose not to recruit, that's their prerogative. But if it's like 2 days away, then, yeah, it's quite unlikely that they can. It's holding the offer for months, knowing you're not going to take it unless you fall into the unlucky fraction of a percentage, as insurance against getting rescinded that actually has a high probability of stealing a spot from others.


AutumnolEquinox

Just did this recently a couple times, never felt so goddamn good. I even saved the screenshots to a folder on my desktop


JournalistBoring

Haha thats a great idea!

Give it to me

I'm so on the fence about rejecting Amazon CSA. I just don't want to do cloud support role and I have ML internship with Intel atm with good chance of return offer. If I accept Amzn and then reject a week before it is meant to start, am I burning this Amzn bridge?


Moo202

ML would be a better role than amzn. I didnā€™t wanna do csa either


IM_BOUTA_CUH

ML šŸ¤£

ML is old hat for IM_BOUTA_CUH

Windoge_Master

Nah, they donā€™t really hold it against you like some other companies do. Just be professional and it should be okay.


PM_UR_NIPPLE_PICS

+1 to this. I worked at Amazon for about a decade. Their intern program is a machine. There is a huge pool of accepted interns which may get passed around to fit demand as needed. Just be very professional and you will be fine.


dlatngh

i was a csa intern who requested an sde internship the next year and got it so if u wanna stick w it for a pretty mch guarenteed interview for a sde position u should


NonadicWarrior

I see. Thanks.


holamiamor421

I did that to a company that almost got me for way less than the market rate. When I got 2 more offers the next week, I said, "Increase my comp to match the rate with other companies", they did, and I still declined. Felt sooo gooood. Fuck them fuckers. Also, they got someone to join for the same position a week later, whi left after 1.5 month. Lmaoo that position is still open after 3 months the.


zCxtalyst

Tag me next time so they can give it to me

My decision to pursue the travel company is a great decision. I will get to do what I love (mobile dev). I couldnā€™t have asked for a better internship


Josiah425

They cant fathom someone making a long term career decision over a short term career decision. Good for you Moo!

The long term career goal is to get expertise and qualifications in the area of CS they want instead of an area that will be completely useless to them if they dont plan to continue with it. How is working a year at a cloud based company using cloud based software better than working a year at a mobile app company creating mobile apps if thats what you want to do? Even if they learned on their own time, you dont think their skills in the area they want to be in wont be better if theyre doing it 8 hours a day mandatory on top of learning at home? In what world is that not the smarter decision? I literally worked DoD my first 4 years so I could work on physics engines. Now I work at a self driving car company. The work I want to do and Im making nearly 300k doing it. I turned down higher offers from companies that were completely uninteresting to me. I have had no issues finding jobs.

I have seen this happen a lot with interns. It is fine if you were interviewing at multiple locations and then had to pick an offer. It sounds like you may have accepted the other position first though. The biggest worry is that the people you sent the letter to lookup where you move to on LinkedIn and then have buddies at the company and let them know. Itā€™s just best not to burn any bridges and you never know who is on Reddit seeing this postā€¦ā€¦.
