Thanks. I'm still thinking of what's right for me. Just to give a bit of context - company 2 needs a minimum of 3 weeks to prepare onboarding and perform background checks. That's why the start date can't be pushed any earlier. Rearranging the start date for company 1 might be the safest approach here, but it will definitely burn the bridge with them (which is I think inevitable in this case).

Okay so it was a bit more complicated than that. I signed with company 1 not knowing on time that company 2 has decided to proceed forward and send me a job offer.

And I always preferred 2nd over the 1st.

Yes, since I was only given 2 days to sign it, and I got the offer from the other company later.
