I would thank them for the opportunity and say your personal situation has changed so you have decided not to pursue their opportunity. Thank them again for their time and consideration and say you look forward to discussing possible opportunities in the future.

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?
