根據我的經驗和我的理解， in both situations， you can

do what you like to take the second offer （bfore or after the starting date of the first offer） without getting yourself into some trouble because your first offer is“at will”。


That being said， it of course will not look good on your side (the least negative effect we can expect is that you have burned the bridge in terms of getting a possible employment opportunity with the first company in the future. Also possibly if the people in the first company feel that they are kind of screwed by you, just as you mentioned in your post, then they may communicate with people in the second company regarding what had really happened).
