Hi,

I was recently in discussion with the HR for an offer that was made (verbal only) to me where I had to give confirmation on a taxation scheme. After giving the confirmation they assumed (mentioned this when the shared the TC breakup) I had accepted the offer. Then I sent an email saying I am declining it as I have another offer which is more aligned for me.

Don't take HRs seriously, according to them, apart from them, everybody else is useless and unprofessional. Company unke wajah se chalti hai, salary unki jeb se jaati hai :D

Leave it to the HRs to guilt trip you. 😂😂 Honestly, you don't need to care about what they say.
They have their KRA of hiring the best candidate at the lowest cost. In all probability, they're still low balling you by 10-20%.
Send a formal note of not accepting the offer and move on.

Now the HR called me and said it’s very unprofessional of you declining the offer, you should have mentioned it earlier. I explained that I only got offer when we had the verbal discussion and I was busy in a hiring drive, I couldn’t check them until the EOD. Then he went on about how unprofessional my attitude was and they had communicated everything about the role gave me the desired number, I accepted my mistake over here.

Am I at fault here, as my understanding is you send acceptance/decline only when the formal letter is sent?

Is the company going to blacklist?


Now they are waiting for my final confirmation and I am feeling very low and sad after the call with HR😔

Your understanding is correct, verbal communication doesn't matter unless it's on record.
Don't feel bad about it, this is how it all works.

Lol. Don't even worry a bit. You may not join even after formally accepting the offer.
Most offer letters have a clause wherein it states that the offer letter is auto revoked upon candidate not joining on or before X date.

Hey! I'm just about to start doing some freelance work for a NYC based boutique design studio, and I need to give a hiring manager my hourly rate to give his customers. I am new to UI/UX design. I have experience in graphic design, but I just completed a certificate in UI/UX design so other than school projects I don't have an extensive amount of experience. What would you suggest I should charge? I am more interested in gaining experience than needing the money, but want to be payed reasonably.
