This is for non-retail. (ie. hospital)
So when getting a job offer from an employer. If you accept the offer....but then a month AFTER you already accepted the offer...you get a better offer somewhere else. What do you do?

When accepting a job offer are you legally bound.
Does it look really bad to decline after you accepted, or does this happen now and then.
Therefore...should you always accept a job offer until you get something better?

Thanks for the info

That's when you look into everything before making a decision. People usually decline BEFORE deciding on accept any of the offers.
 
So you would then turn down a better job offer 3-8 weeks later

I just feel Id be kicking myself for the next so many years

I know it's tough, but sometimes it's what you have to do.

On a slightly related note, I know one guy from my school who picked grad school instead of pharmacy school because he found out about grad school way before hearing from pharmacy school. I think he hasn't looked back on it though.

If you like your coworkers and patients, then you'll like your job.
 
Pharmacy is a very small world and people talk all the time. If the two hospitals are pretty close to each other, then you may have a problem somewhere down the line.

If it was me...it will depend on how much better the other job is and if the other hospital can find a person by the time you were scheduled to start. If you're thinking about accepting the new offer, I would speak with the old hospital's director and offer to pay back any expenses that they have made for you.
