I'm stuck in a little dileofftopic, and wondered what people thought they'd do in my situation, as well as what the 'moral' thing to do is.
I've recently handed notice in at work and accepted a new job, with a decent salary and only an hour commute rather than an hour and a half. So far, all well and good.
But before I accepted it I was offered another one, for a lower salary but only a ten minute commute. I turned that down, because the salary's slightly lower than I have in my current one. So, I signed the contract and everything as you'd expect, and handed in my notice.
Now the one ten minutes away has come back (after several weeks) and asked me if I'd be interested on a much higher salary than they originally offered - one quite a bit higher even than the job I've accepted.
So, how much do I owe to the company whose offer I've accepted? I feel a bit funny about telling them, after accepting their offer, that I've changed my mind but a higher salary and only ten minutes travel is rather appealing.
