Consultants' Forum Questioning my integrity - withdrawing acceptance     "All,    I would greatly appreciate your advice. I am in a situation where I presume lots of others have been as well: I am in the middle of changing employers.    I have an offer from one and two more companies still in the     pipeline with interviews in the following six-week period.    HR from the company I hold the offer from (offer made two weeks ago) has called me to pressure me into signing and returning the contract - I have hinted at accepting the offer     on the phone.    However, I do not want to miss the other two chances, as these are both more 'prestigious' employers. But at the same time, I do not want to forgo this offer for it is an excellent one as well.    Question: how bad,     from a legal standpoint, would it be to sign the contract, mail it - and then if I have received another offer - tell them I have changed my mind? I know morally and professionally it is the gutter - but I’m not too worried about my scruples - rather if     this choice can affect referencing / other offers. Can I mess the whole thing up?       Thanks!"
