Contract dilemma

That you've just had proof that his offer wasn't as competitive as he claimed it was. It's true after all.

I did I similar thing a while back, but I took Role 1, as soon as Role 2 came up I found a replacement [ via these boards ] and advised the client that the role didn't match my expectations, but I have found domebody who knows the area and has the expertise.

Client, Agent & New Bod were happy - so was I went from a 3 monther to a six monther with a 25% mark up.

I am in a similiar situtation, have accepted first offer a perm role (have not sign on the dotted line) and the same day an agent headhunted me with a great job package, I also got an offer.
What reason would be wise to give to agent who got you job offer no. 1?Thanks

its perm, so what does it matter? i accepted, verbally, a perm position and then 2 days later was sent for a contract interview and offered (That was December and it through the same agency! shows how much they talk!). i then turned down the perm role saying i've had a better offer.

being perm means you want the best you can get, and i doubt there is a law against you verbally accepting then turning it down for better! they can drop you when they like.
