Thanks everyone for your supportive and helpful comments. I had interest from another company when I accepted from this company that rescinded the offer. I am following up with them to see if they're still interested.

I am also getting in touch with some of you who are hiring. The problem is I have very little time to go back and make amends at my existing job - just tomorrow.

This will be a long night...

I'd just hate myself to go back with my head hung in shame telling them that 'oh my job didn't work out'...take me back. I had a farewell lunch yesterday. Everyone in my extended team knows I'm leaving. My exit interview is planned for early next week and they're processing my final paystubs.

I can't believe this level of unprofessionalism exists.

I was offered a Senior RoR dev position at a 50-ppl funded and revenue-generating bay area company last week. I accepted, signed, and was excited to join this company.
