I'd say no.

Hm, did you sign an offer with a salary in writing? You could mention the other offer and say you'd like to feel confident and valued in your decision, but it may be a little difficult if you signed.

Personally, as an employer, if someone signed an offer then tried to renegotiate, I would pull the offer. It would leave a bad taste in my mouth for the employee and make me second guess my decision to hire that person, before I ever had the chance to really know then or how they worked.

I’d say you can try but it may not work. Did the other offer have more money? I would say, I have received another offer with more money and now I am a little conflicted. Would it be possible that your company would consider matching? I would probably try it, though you have to be prepared for them to get a salty taste and pull the offer you signed. That may or may not be the outcome you want, but worst case scenario you still have one offer.

Nope.. salary should only be negotiable at the time offer was extended. Going back after you've accepted the offer makes you appear to be greedy and undecided...and you could lose both...So be sure that's what you want to do
