Undo (CMD + Z)
Thinking about declining an offer after accepting it is one of the most unfortunate situations you can find yourself in as a candidate. This lesson explains how to delicately extricate yourself from such situations without causing yourself reputational harm.
This is one of the most common questions that we have been asked in-person and on numerous online forums. Usually, the story plays out with the candidate interviewing at several companies in quick succession. The candidate receives an offer that is better than his current position but definitely not his top pick. The candidate wants to wait for the outcome of all the interviews but is either coerced into accepting the offer or voluntarily accepts it out of fear of the offer being rescinded.
