Recently got an offer for a company lower than I was expecting, however I said yes (I haven’t started yet). Another company made me a much higher offer- both companies are great. Is it bad to leave the one I said “yes” to?

Dear Hiring manager at company 1. Bye
I need to sign up for the presale of your business writing masterclass asap
Companies rescinded offer letters to people that planned their lives around that job starting. Don't feel bad for jumping ship before you start either. Take the money.
Rescind and repent.
How long have you been there?
I haven’t started. I just accepted the offer at company 1
how much more is company 2 offering?
Any red flags are company 2?
If pay was equal, where would you rather be?

Company 2 is offering 20k more (base) and 20k more on OTE
Both companies are great, either one works (if pay was the same)

Do your best not to burn bridges when you turn offer 1 down. You can explain you unexpectedly received a much higher offer, and you going to take it. Then take it.
Congratulations. It’s a nice problem to have.

Dear Company,
Another suitor has wooed me with an offer I simply can't resist.

Jump ship, mate.
Run. Don't look back.
Take care of numero uno. That's what they'd do.
There have been so many news stories of companies pulling offers right before the start date when notice has already been given.

Do what’s best for you and not the company !
If you like the first company more, you could let them know you got a higher offer and at least pitch them the idea of matching it. If they offered much lower than you expected, they probably know they're underpaying for the role already.
I would disagree, let them know yes, but its a rocky start and youl be expected to do 20k more energy level
Look after number 1(You). Companies rescind offers and do trashy shit all the time. Weigh the pros/cons and accept the other offer.
No. It's all transactional. Be respectful in your bye-bye note, and go what suits you.
They have a "pipeline" usually when they are hiring for a role, so should you when you are looking to join a company.
Go for it.

Go for it.
You need to always do what’s best for you. Always.
just let them know you got a better offer. You do not want to wste their time and resources to train you and then leave so you'll not join their org
Not at all, got to look out for yourself
As long as you're okay never working at that company you say no to, please go for it, yes!
May be a bridge worth buring.
Do what's best for you, they would.
An offer for 20k more. Holy smokes Batman, we have to go!!!
of course. maybe give them a chance to raise their offer but by all means take the money.
companies are low-balling right now because of the market. F that

Canceled businesses send letters to people who plan their lives around the job. There’s no need to feel bad about jumping ship before you get started. Collect money.
you need to tell them the truth, I received another offer for 20k more, then tell them you are accepting their offer and leave it on the best terms you can.
Nope. Just like they are looking out for their best interest, you are looking out for yours. If anything, I would let them know the reason you're not accepting their offer and give them the option to counter (they probably won't)
Politely decline your lower offer and go for the better option. In worse times any company would kick you out with the blink of an eye and in the end it’s a business agreement not a marriage
Negotiation 101 - be honest, and pit the ones against each other. Unless it's like a 30k base difference, if the person wants you on their team, they will find a way to match it.
