Yes, I got two offers and turn one down via not knowing it has better working environment than the one I chose.

My own is even 3, I’ve been told to leave from the one I chose and I’m back to square one now.

Sure. Both by email.

Jumia when it was still a start up (I think under rocket internet) and was interviewed by a Spanish and I think a German guy. The salary was low.

My spouse rejected a Glaxo offer after she was told her first assignment would be in Kano. We weren't married then but told her to reject the offer.

Yes, due to distance and cash issues then.

I had to reject it politely.

Yes.

I resumed that day, and when I got home I sent a mail stating the reason why I can't continue with them.

The distance and meagre pay. Even when I politely asked for accommodation the Management was just focused on me meeting target.

Yes.

A big organization in Lagos. They delayed a bit before coming up with their offer and I joined another organization. I politely declined, informing them I just joined another organization.

But I didn't tell them I wasn't in for Lagos stress.

I recently got an offer as a fullstack developer

The initial offer was so insulting even after I told them my minimum during interview that I already made up my mind not to work with them

I sent them a mail telling them how disappointed I was with an offer of 125k

They called back raise to 150 - I reject
After some months called back for 180 then 200

In my mind I already know I won't do full stack for less than 3, I'm mainly back end developer, I strongly believe one single person should not be fullstack and if at all one person should be fullstack the pay better worth it

To make it worse all their offer were gross which means tax, NHIS, pension etc will still be deducted

Clowns! They want to hire a fullstack dev but are offering 150k, so that when you cook beans for them, they'll say you're incompetent. Cheap labour kee them there.

Yes, I have. I had worked for an international company in Nigeria and was moving to the UK while processing a transfer for the same company in the UK office as my expatriate boss from the US who was temporarily working in Nigeria wanted me to remain within the company and so he put in a word to the UK office. I eventually converted the transfer to a rehire process as the UK office were wasting my time on the transfer while I was in Nigeria and I wanted to resign and leave. Anyway, I resigned, moved to the UK, continued the process, was given an offer and then I declined it because they stepped me down from my equivalent level in Nigeria. I knew this because the levels were same globally. Anyway, I could easily reject the offer and did so via email because I had an offer at the same time from a competitor which was much better in terms of level, salary and company benefits. This was 14 years ago. To be fair to them, i was slightly changing department in the Uk but it didn't warrant the step down.

Rejection email below.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you very much for offering me the opportunity to work at xxxxxx UK . I have carefully considered the offer and unfortunately, I will not be accepting it as I believe that the career level offered is not commensurate with my skills and experience.

I really appreciate that I was considered for a position at xxxxxx UK and that the organisation had confidence in me, which resulted in the extension of an offer. I look forward to any future engagement with the organisation.

Best Regards.


Their reply.

Thank you xxxx for your email and feedback on the offer which was made.

I understand the reason for your decision and am sorry that we were not able to meet your expectations.

All the best with your future career path.

Kind Regards

Re: Ever Been Offered A Job That You Rejected By Email? by onehouse(m): 3:28pm On Mar 31, 2021
Sometime two years ago, I was offered a job and I turned it down. However, after a few days, the hiring manager felt he needed to know why I turned it down.
We got talking and appropriate changes were made from the hiring company which I later accepted. Today, looking back at the entire event, I don't regret that I switched company because I earn better than the previous company with lots of bonus and free time as well. I am also fulfilled on the job with lots of challenging task to do everyday.
