No I have not yet started work at the first job (1st day is in June). And actually I wasn't expecting the second offer to come about, they just waited too long to call me and I didn't even think I was on their minds anymore.

I do genuinely feel bad as I did actually like the recruiter . But it looks like the only thing to do now is make a phone call.

Once you have accepted a job, as another poster points out, you are expected to take yourself off the market. It shouldn't matter that someone calls you and that you were not actively pursuing the second offer.

Having said that, as I mentioned earlier, there is no point in taking a job that you do not want.

Regardless when you get an offer, you go for the best one. Even if its your first day and you get a call from say Facebook and they want you, you gonna say no thank you, I rather stay here with less pay or name value. I don't think so. It would be nice in a perfect world. :)
