Handle it like an adult.

If you are really leaving with a good reason (and there's no reason why this can't be because you think you fit better into a different firm, ofc don't be an idiot and say "I think that firm is better than yours"), be upfront about it, email the partner and cc HR, thank them for the opportunity to interview and explain why you want to withdraw from the training.

If you are leaving for very superficial reasons, lie.

Personally, I think the timelines are very unreasonable and TC withdrawals, while not common, are not rare either.

Is it common to withdraw from TC after accepting or not very common?

Just some honest advice, the legal industry is extremely cut throat. If you can't navigate such a situation, I don't think you can survive in the industry anyway.

just an advice - don't burn bridges starting out in your career. don't accept another TC just because it pays better

don't mollycoddle these si ginnas. sometimes can only learn by crashing and burning

tell them also waste your breath

which would yall choose a&g or slb banking?

SLB is a dying firm whereas A&G is one of the top. But A&G will work you like a dog.

if you want a slack 9-5 life go slb but be prepared to have little career progression or exit opp

Newspaper says A&G banking precedents were derived from SLB.
