Received an offer from Deloitte last Thursday, and the hiring manager emailed me the same day to saying he is very happy that I am joining…But the truth is I have not even signed the letter and have actually decided to take another offer instead. How should I respond the email (or should I respond at all)? I want to be as respectful as possible and not burn any future bridges…

We’re definitely blacklisting you. Haha jk, congrats but do tell them soon. Some teams are understaffed and the sooner you tell them the better.

Thanks. Yea I will respond Monday.

I am in worse boat I have signed but thinking going somewhere else and they have sent me a lot of welcome and meeting invites I haven't accepted.

If I signed the offer then that would be expected. But what strange to me is I have not signed the letter, and I surely did not say “yes” or “no” when the recruiter called me with the verbal offer. In fact, I told him clearly that I have other offers and will evaluate the offer. I even received background check request, they pretty much assuming I will 100% say “yes”…

Email the recruiter and let them know asap, think someone else out there is waiting to be made an offer

Just respond saying you don’t recollect signing the offer and that you’re currently comparing the few and that you will need time to confirm…

Yep not a big deal. We get an email saying that offer has been extended. Just let them politely know that you decided to go a different way.
Don’t read into it anymore than that. You won’t be blacklisted.

Scre you guys I’m going elsewhere

Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.
