Greetings,

Maybe here a good place to ask.
How to decline a job offer after signing the offer letter.?

I got another job offer which is better than previous offer. But the thing is, I already signed the offer letter and already go to medical checkup.
While waiting to my notice period to end which is 3 month, I went to another interview and luckily got accepted. The previous offer comes from
one of big local financial company.
What I need to do? any advice?

From a Legal Standpoint.

When you sign a Letter of Offer, it constitutes acceptance, with acceptance, it becomes a contract.

If you decide to bail on the company, does the company have a cause of action against you? answer is Yes.

BUT, generally most company's won't pursue a court action, perhaps because:-

(a) too petty;
(b) too costly; and
© they can't prove they suffer any loss or damage as a result of your departure (this case will be different if you are being paid and suddenly you decide to resign prematurely without giving notice); and

HOWEVER, one thing they can do is:

(a) blacklist you.

No one like getting stood-up and left in the rain without an umbrella, if you "think" it worth the risk by all means go ahead. It's your career choice/move.

My 2cents worth of advice, don't be fickle.

Thanks for advice, really appreciate it.
The new offer comes with 40% more salary. Its hard to resist the temptation.
