Dear sir,

I received an offer letter from two reputed firms. First, I accepted the offer from XXX Company. Later on, I received an offer from YYY Company. I would like to join YYY Company. Will there be any problem for me and my family if I do not join them? They have conducted home and certificate verification. I still haven't joined either of these firms. Please advise.

If you first accepted the offer from XXX company and now do not want to join, inform them in writing.

Did you report to their office and formally join work there? If that is not done, then there is not much of a legal hassle.

Dear Sir,

I didn't join any of these companies. I received an offer letter from XXX Company and accepted their offer. I have not informed them yet. If I inform XXX Company, will they cause any trouble for me and my family, sir?

Dear R shriram, You need not worry much and you can simply reply on email to Xxx company for not joining them. There will be no legal Hassel for you as you are not an employee of that organisation.

Dear Friend,

There is no issue if you have not joined. You can inform the XXX firm and provide a personal reason for not joining. Simultaneously, report for joining at YYY firm at the earliest to avoid any unprecedented situations.

Hi there,

It is good that you have not joined the new company. So, you can write back to them saying that either due to personal reasons or better prospects, you are not able to join them. It is courtesy from your side to inform the first company so they can roll the offer to the next candidate in line, rather than keeping them in the dark. How the other company will know where you are joining and how they might give you any trouble is not understood though.

But remember one thing, don't make the salary the sole criteria to join a company. Every company has its share of politics and problems. If you are a habitual job hopper, just by seeing one's resume, it will be known. This could also be a basis for rejection in a new company, even if you have done well.

Best wishes.

Thank you, Mr. Prabhat Ranjan Mohanty, Mr. Manoj Kamble, Mr. Ssrow. You all cleared my doubt. In fact, I am not focused on salary, sir. Two companies are paying the same salary. But I like to join yyy. Peace of mind will be better than xxx company with the pressure of mind for the same salary. That's why. Thank you to everyone who lent a hand when I had questions.

Whatever the reason, for joining or not joining one of the two, be absolutely honest about informing the one why you have decided not to be a part of their team. This will save you a lot of unnecessary headaches later on, and you will reflect that you possess integrity and honesty, among other positive traits.

For some young and curious minds taking on jobs for the first time, or for switching jobs later on, remember to see if your passion equates with the skills you need to carry out your job, the growth potential in the long term, and that you are at home with the work environment and culture.
