I received 2 offers. Preferred one was verbal, and I know the salary. The other is going to be revealed in a zoom. Is it rude to reach out and tell them no and not attend the zoom? Or , sit through it and hear the offer even if I’m most likely going to decline it? And if so, is that considered to be (more) rude than outright refusing it? Thanks in advance.

Listen to it and ask for time to consider it. Then let them down. Why burn a bridge you don’t have to or assume you know what you don’t? (mind you, I know less about the situation than you do obviously so take that opinion for what it’s worth).

Thank you

Absolutely agree with the above comment. Always take time to really weigh in on your options AFTER you have both offers in writing.

You may change your mind about Company A later, or they may pull back the offer. Always keep your options open and once you decide, decline politely and humbly.

The importance of remaining professional at all time. You never who you will cross path again in the future. You maybe surprised about what they can offer? take time to weigh the different offers and see what fits better for you. Good luck 🤞🏼

Kepted the zoom meeting. Thank you for all the feedback. I really wasn’t sure which was the more professional route (to say no and save the agency time, or hear it out) but listening to the advice given here and meeting with the team it was clear this was the more professional way to handle the offer. Thanks again—having never been in this situation I truly had no idea about decorum.

Thanks for the update and glad it worked out. All the best to you.
