Got blessed with two offers this week! I've already said yes to my first choice, but another company I really like called with an offer today and I'm a little bummed because the manager and I got along great. I have to decline by tomorrow but want to stay on their good side for the future. How do I do this right?

Do you think you can refer me for the offer that you are declining?

I sadly don’t think there’s any way to do that. It may be coincidental but in my experience if I reapply to a company whose offer I have previously rejected, I’m not even getting an interview. It’s happened with four companies so I’m starting to think it might not be coincidence lol

I’d just keep it respectful and professional. You appreciate the offer, but you have already accepted one and are no longer available. Can potentially say you hope to stay connected and possibly work together in the future if circumstances allow. But there is no telling how they will take it. Congrats on the offers, though! Hopefully, that makes it easier.

Honestly if you’re leaning towards the other one and there’s a diff in the comp package etc, maybe go with the second so you have no regrets. Did you already do a background check w the first place?
