If companies can rescind offers, how is employees rejecting offers later wrong? 
  
 It's absolutely fine, imo.

Rescinding and rejecting an offer after accepting - both are unethical. If people continue both, the only thing we’ll end up with is candidates blaming employers and vice versa.

Growth And Strategy

Ideally, yes. That's how it should be. 
  
 But, as we always see, it never is.

Is it a common practice to accept the offer and reject it if you get better offer a week later?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Is it a good idea to accept an offer after declining it? Have any one of you ever rejected an offer because of some concerns with that company but after around a month you realise that the company and the compensation offered was good and you should have gone along with them. So is it a good idea to mail them regarding the same and ask if the offer letter still holds?

Accepting an offer after Rejecting

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have accepted job offer and then during notice period I got multiple job offers and accepted few of them, now one week before I want to reject other offers, I want to know will it effect my professional branding? And how to reject other offers gracefully without affecting professional relationships with recruiter and organisations ? Please help here

Rejecting offers after accepting

How to handle the situation if we have accepted one offer and submitted our documents and few days before joining we got another offer. Second one is better and want to join this one.

Multiple offers. Rejecting first over second one

Can we take the offer after 20 days of rejection, given they are still hiring for the position and compensation is changed?

Can we negotiate with a rejected offer?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Once we accept multiple offers, how and when should be reject them before joining in a good way? And do companies blacklist if we reject the offer after accepting?

Offer rejection

I recently got a decent offer. Recruiter asked me whether I want to wait for other potential offers before signing but I decided to sign as I thought that the market is bad and I might not get another offer.

Later I realised that I was lowballed in terms of cash compensation. Right now, I have been shortlisted for 2 more companies that pay very well and I think I can crack those offers.

The thing is, I like the first company a lot as their interview process and interviewers gave me a good idea of their work culture.

Ideally, I would want to join them but I also think that I can get a much better package, potentially 2x in terms of cash compensation.

Current offer in hand (good company): 18LPA fixed +  50LPA RSU vested in 4 years

Potential offers(decent company/ layoffs happened/happening): 25-35LPA fixed + RSU

I was also thinking that maybe I can go back to the first company after getting an offer from the second one and ask them to increase their initial offer or match it with the new one.

Any views viners?

Rejecting an offer after accepting it

I’m not sure whether I’ll clear the interviews which are lined up. I have a good offer now.
should I say yes to the offer I have and wait to see how the offers turn out and then decline the earlier offer?
it seems to be in bad faith.

I’ve got 2 offers and I’ve got interview calls from 2 companies which I’d prefer more

What can be the consequences of showing Forged offer letter. Like I have got offer 0f 24LPA from Company A. Now company B offers me same I want to join B, whatif I edit 24 of A to 28 LPA, show that to B and ask them match it. I don't think B will contact A to confirm it, BgV also concerns previous employers.. So is there any risk???

Hi guys, I'm having two different company offers and they come with a timeline of acceptance. Is it ethical to accept both offers and join one. It's a tough spot as my existing notice is 90 days and don't want any surprises later. Please advice

Question for pro negotiators

Investment Banking Associate

Hi All, For example while searching a job you will get one offer and you accept also then in the 2 months notice period if you get another offer from another company how to talk to first company ?

How you guys are tackling this situation?

Multiple offer in notice period. How to convey to HR

Salesforce Developer

I got an offer, I knew the role was not great but still went ahead to see if pay would be better (75% up). 
But I still would like to try for a better role and not accept this. 
I need your suggestion on how to do this, so that I won't be blacklisted for future opportunities of the offered company.

how to reject an offer?

Analyst

I hold an offer from a company and they have shared with me the onboarding process for background verification and that has to be completed within 3 days. DOJ: Feb 2nd week

However I'm still attending interviews to match/negotiate for a better compensation and these interviews can take a week or so. 

Is it okay to complete the document verification process and later get an offer to negotiate for a matching compensation with the current company or should I stall from completing the document verification process till I get an offer?

Hey Guys! I am new to the corporate world and am not familiar with all the nuances, is it okay that you change your mind during the notice period and decline an offer post accepting it from another org?

Rejecting Offer During Notice Period

Business Analyst

It has been 25 days since I got laid off from the startup that I was working for. I have given a few interviews. Got rejected in 1st or 2nd rounds in a few, went till the last round n rejected in a couple and haven't heard back from the HR in a few. Not hearing back, unanswered calls, delays in rounds etc. cause a lot of anxiety and impacts my confidence and preparation levels. How do I tackle it? 
Also, unable to find fresh openings in product/ strategy roles for past few days. This also adds to pressure and uncertainty.

In short, it is a very troubling phase. How do I deal with it? Need enormous help from all of you folks. Would love to hear some great thoughts / insights / hacks too.

Laid off and preparing for interviews

Product Manager

Hi, I have an offer from Company A and my joining date is in next 2 weeks. But just last friday i got another offer from Company B with much higher salary than A. 

But I have interest to work on Company A. Do you think I could negotiate with Company A so close to the joining? Has anyone done it before and what was your result?
I'm worried if they may rescind the offer if I asked. Appreciate if anyone could shed some light on how to approach this. 

Thanks.

Anyone negotiated salary few days before joining?

The company I used to work for recently shut down and I just received my first offer from a sizeable unicorn. 

I am being massively low-balled (20% cut). And on top of it, it's an exploding offer. 

I have a couple of interviews lined up (they start after May 28th) but at the moment, this is the only offer I have. 

What should I do?

1. Hard negotiate? Leave the offer on the table if it doesn't work out. 

2. Soft negotiate. Get the offer. Interview with other companies and try to get a better offer before joining (feels wrong)

Things to consider:

- I have 10+ months runway
- Last cash comp was 24L at 2.5YOE

I'm leaning towards 1.

I'm being lowballed. What should I do?

Suffering from success. 24L base for <2.5 yoe was already high. And that’s the reason why u have so much runway. Good luck on whatever u decide.

Hi all,
I have been giving interviews for several IBs in last few months and i have had a very laggy, slow experience.

Namely, i have been interviewed by JPMC for about 3 profiles, Barclays for about 3 profiles, BNP Paribas and DB for about 2 profiles.

I would not disclose or discuss anything about offers. What i want to highlight is all these organizations are just taking weeks to finalize and give answer. If they like you, they would have rounds of interview in 2-3 days after each interview, but then, its radio silence. Then they either internally reject you and don't give any update or keep on window shopping with other candidates and try to find cheaper options. Then they come back if they don't find anything.
But something that they should change is transperancy.

Say exactly what is the status of a candidate. Why you want to keep on buying time.
On the contrary, i was also interviewed by EY. And they were simply the fastest and the most to the point guys.
Interviews done in 2-3 days, after final interview with director, i got a call the same evening discussing salary, etc...

No HR HR game and time wasting.

Also, none of the IBs ever update the status on online portal and when you reach out to HR for an update, all they say is its in process, waiting for business to reply and please check status online.

At times, even after months, the status stays the same.

And the worst part is, after playing their time wasting game, say if your scored an offer letter from somewhere else, they will say that this wasn't disclosed or said during the discussion. 
They should understand that if they are wasting a month of an employee on the pretext of "waiting from business for reply", it can happen. 

If any other folks have faced same issue, please share.

I personally have made a decision that if and when i do hiring or am part of hiring process, will try to be as transparent as possible and give answer atleast in a week's time to any candidate.

IBs taking forever to answer
