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?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Sorry for being a pussy but I'm very new to this. So I accepted an offer from a company and did the BGC docs and all. 2 month later, now I have a better offer that I want to join. I'm sure I don't want to join the first company. Was gonna call the HR now, but what do I say??

How to reject an accepted offer?

Software Engineer

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?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I recently received a counter offer from one of the big 4 company.. I had initially decided not to join. I am reconsidering my decision and would appreciate your advice on the potential consequences. 
Specifically, I am concerned about the risk of being blacklisted or facing negative if I choose not to join the company even after accepting their counter offer. 
Is there a possibility of affecting my future opportunities with the same company? Do they black list for rejecting their counter offer?

Urgent Suggestion required.pls

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.

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

I accepted an offer from Company A but explored other options and recently got a better offer from Company B. I’ve had second thoughts about Company A, and I’ve learned their salaries are often paid late.How should inform Company A that I won’t be joining them?

Need Advice on Backing Out of an Accepted Job Offer

Data Scientist

HR is is trying to lowball me into accepting an offer at my current compensation stating market conditions. I don’t have any other offers yet. What can be done here? 🥲

Salary Negotiation

1. Never compromise on ds/algo practice and design. You should get time every week for this.
2. Never trust any company and don't settle
3. Company can replace you anytime. HR just need to float job and hundreds of applicant will apply whereas if you need to find a job you first have to grind LC and design and then you will get ready. This makes a uneven situation.
4. You are not replaceable for your family, friends and loved ones

Benefits of working in toxic or too much work environment
1. Learning
2. A little better payscale
3. Close peer group of colleague 

Cons 
1. You won't get time for practice your interview skills so you would have hard time cracking interviews
2. High pressure can leads to high stress that can lead to less growth in long run and burn out. Once you burn out, your Employer attitude may change
3. You would not have time for your friends and family. You may even lose your social circle. Whereas the colleague group that you would form would start to fade away once you leave that place.
4. It would form a unbalanced relationship where you are more dependent on your Employer and won't be able to do much even if you get less increment or other issues
5. You would not have time for investment or growing your wealth. Your long term wealth is not how much you earn it is how much you have(savings + growth on saving)

What to do if you feel you join such company
- find opportunities and get out in initial days or probation period. You can wipe out that experience from your resume
- Contact the companies you had offer from and ask them to reconsider if they can

What to do if you are stuck in such company
- do a little less work and start preparing. Once you are little confidence start doing lesser work and look for opportunities. At this point in time you don't have to fear them much. Firing is pretty common now 
- Be aware of your rights in worst case as per employment agreement

Way to survive in industry

Software Architect

My background:
Hey! I am in my final year, I did a summer internship at a software firm as a SDE role for 1 lakh stipend. And I got a full time offer for 26 LPA after graduation which will be in May’24

I applied for internship in a startup for working until my graduation, it was for the same role i worked during my internship. During a phone call interview right now, he asked me how much you’ll be expecting when you join full time, so I mistakenly revealed my offer and how much i m expecting. He made me compare the 12 lpa which this startup can give to maximum and 36 lpa which is my ctc offer in another company. I told him that I am ready to do a internship now at a lower money(50k), but after a year, depending on the situations of the startup, we can negotiate on the salary if can get a competitive one. What should I do now?

Please give me suggestions on how should I had negotiated, and did i do anything wrong by revealing my another offer from another company.?

What should be my next steps?

Negotiating salary

I had quoted a ctc, they have agreed with that ctc but now I think it's quite low (17.5 lpa fixed for 2.5 yoe). It's a startup. How do I negotiate it to more. They want me to accept offer letter asap. I am in the process of interviewing a couple of more companies where I hope to get around 22 lpa fixed. Should I accept it and then say no few days later?

Making my first switch, how to go about negotiating a decent offer

I already have an offer with 70% hike and I am getting 30 to 40% more hike as a counter from different organisations.
I would like to know if it is good to accept a counter offer?
Because the first organisation was waiting for the last 3 months for me and I am not getting how to say no all of a sudden for joining.
Should I reject a counter offer?

Pls pls suggest me
