Turning down a job offer is no big deal, but since I told contract company B that I'd take the job, I guess I feel a commitment to keep my word.

Are contract companies use to contractors accepting a position and then backing out because they find something better?

I really don't think it would be much of a burden on company B, because they would have a couple of weeks to find someone else before the project started. Also, as I mentioned, it was only a twenty minute phone interview, so they didn't have a lot of time and effort into the screening me.

Scenario:

- I really wanted a contract with company A - resume is submitted by contract company A.
- My resume is submitted for company B by contract company B.
- I interview with company B (20 minute phone interview).
- Contract company B calls and says company B wants me for a nine month contract.
- I accept the offer the following day (yesterday 9/11). The job/contract starts on October 1st.
- Contract company A calls today (9/12) and says company A wants to interview me.
- The contract for company A is $25 more an hour than company B and is in a better location.

Is is ever OK, to back out of contract after a verbal commitment?
