What are the roles? What is your background? If you are not super interested in the first place, why did you apply? If you are not a fresh grad, then I think you should know better what you want.

sorry to hijack, but is it bad to sign a contract, and when another offer comes along, you break the previous one? is it common?

It happens. Frowned upon and most likely you will be blacklisted by that company that you break with, but not illegal to do so.
