TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

They have offered you a job. Clearly they don’t care about you reneging another firm’s offer. They may just might be concerned you do the same to them, but clearly that’s a risk they are willing to take.

Reneges happen a lot in recruitment (less in law for TCs due to the time lag and financial commitments) - recruiters don’t really care if you renege. It’s better you renege now than train and leave.

Brill, thanks a lot. I just don't want to do anything unethical. FWIW firm 1 gave me under a week to respond...

It’s not unethical - just part of the process. It isn’t ideal.

It would only be unethical if you received support from the firm and then didn’t pay back that support.
