Hi Sharks,
I have offer from TCS from my base location & 2 product based companies from another city.
I have already denied over mail to TCS that I cannot join as I have better offers in hand & they ignored my mail for counter offer.
I have to now deny company A of other city whose HR was advising to not deny joining once u accept the offer.
Company B is one of my dream companies & offered the highest among all 3. What should I say to the HR of A? Will they blacklist me if I don't join?

Hello all I received an offer from EY GDS and the date of joining was a concern so I asked for a postpone not much just by a week.( Joining is in May)
It's been almost 1 week now and I haven't heard back from the HR I called and was informed the details are shared with other team and they are working on it.
Is it normal ? Does it take really this long for a new start date?
I resigned here and a bit worried about this whole thing .
Please help
