Reneging on a Big 4 for a Corporate Banking Role

So I accepted an internship offer with a Big 4 in NYC earlier this year. It was all I had at the time and was unsure or not if I'd be able to break into banking as I attend a non-target. I was just extended an offer with better pay, and a housing stipend also in NYC at a large bank. How do I go about reneging on the Accounting firm and are there any risks to my new offer in doing so? I know reneging on a BB for another BB in Investment Banking is a big no no but in my case I'm changing industries and it's what I actually want to do vs accounting which was the best option at the time.

 

Send an email to them detailing all these reasons. Be honest, pour your heart and soul into it, go the full 9 yards.

Then finish with a nice two word sentence “Accounting sucks.”

 

Sit minus sed cupiditate non. Magni quas eos totam. Voluptatum alias omnis qui quia soluta in eos. Pariatur in qui ut incidunt qui. Quisquam soluta reiciendis velit perspiciatis aut dolor laboriosam.

Alias sed sed at. Corporis et recusandae et animi. Molestiae excepturi voluptas iusto. Quae numquam autem non aliquid minima.
