I’ve seen some posts on here about the consequences of reneging a FT offer, but not many about internships. I assume it’s not as big of a deal as my anxiety is making it seem?
I’m a CS undergrad — in August, I accepted a SWE Intern offer at one of the Big 4 defense contractors. They flew me out to an intern meetup (this was for interns who were presented an offer, signing an offer was not a condition of the event).
In October, I got a FAANG interview and landed a SWE Intern offer in November.
I immediately contacted my defense recruiter and tried to get my internship moved to off-season (FAANG didn’t have this option), but she said it wasn’t possible. I explained how difficult of a decision it was and how deeply sorry I was and reneged my defense offer.
It’s 2 months later now, and I’d like to announce my FAANG internship on LinkedIn, etc. so that I can connect with other interns, find roommates, etc. However, I’m still connected with a lot of FT employees from the defense contractor due to the event, and I’m anxious about them somehow retaliating and calling the FAANG and letting them know that I had formerly reneged. Is this even a possibility, or am I just being anxious for no reason?
Thank you!
