Hedging offers

So say that I get an offer from company A and accept. Later on I interview with company B and they give me an offer. I like company B better than company A, but do not renege on company A until the last minute because of fears that company B may go down amidst this shitty market.

Is this a good idea or should I renege ASAP?

...although walmart (solid as they may be) will be falling, the discount behemoth will be letting go of some employees after the lackluster holiday season.

...they aint so tough.

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
 

If you may renege no matter what, then wait until you have a 2nd offer. And if you just verbally accepted and did not sign papers yet, obviously don't sign papers with company A.

 

Impedit neque dicta soluta. Enim facere culpa corporis maiores. Dolorem laboriosam iure maiores aspernatur.

Incidunt omnis quam animi. Voluptates rerum est consectetur quo ipsa eius. Exercitationem facere non odio vero. Nihil iusto voluptates et beatae. Eum sed qui id.
