So I recently renigged on a job offer.
I was given an engineering position with a space contractor and they low balled me at around 55K, I renegotiated to 57K. But my back ground was in the power industry where 62-67K is the gold standard for starting wages, in Engineering or Crafts.
I kindly called the company 2 weeks before my start date and told them I had been recruited for another position and that I could not morally come into their job site and leave a month or two months later at the drop of a hat. That I stood behind integrity and the decision was not easy for me, I understand how hard it is to get a job and the value of a dollar.
They told me to call them if anything changes, (HR)
So do you think I burned a bridge ? or do you think they would consider me if I applied again ?
Yes, I know that 1 in the hand is better than 2 in the bush

You didn't burn a bridge. You handled it correctly.
BUT... if you were to go back to them looking for a job, why would they consider you? You've already basically told them you jumped for more money, and they wouldn't be offering you more in the future so it's likely you're just not a fit for them.
