Thanks for the reply veyron. The second offer is definitely much more enticing than the first in terms of benefits and projects that I would really like to work on. That isn't to say that the first was horrible, just in relative terms. I forgot to mention in the text, but the new offer came unexpectedly a few weeks after I had already accepted the first one. I guess I shouldn't have expected any chances of even doing business with the first but I'll man up and give the recruiter a call.
