I did this and still feel gross about it even though I don't regret the decision. Accepted an offer for a Java/Spring developer, but a week later I got a better offer for a Scala engineer at Apple that had swept me off my feet. I don't know why I still feel gross having to renege after accepting the first offer; I think its because I annoyed the recruiter. That even if the first offer had salary-matched the other offer, I'd rather be programming in Scala than Java/Spring and that wasn't something they could compete with.
