Dear All,
I have a question regarding a joining offer in my hand, I recently got selected by an MNC and decided to join the company. After receiving my offer letter on email, I accepted the offer ( on email).
I am supposed to join the company after completion of my notice period and to submit the signed copy of the offer letter on the date of joining.
In the meantime I appeared for another interview and have got an offer from them too. My dilemma is that I want to join this second company.
1. They are offering me a 20% hike, whereas the 1st company has offered me a 5% hike.
2. The second co's office is nearer my home.
My question to the august panel is :
1. Do I have any obligation towards the 1st co to join them since I have confirmed them on e mail?
2. I intend to decline the 1st offer on mail and inform the HR accordingly, but can they take any action / or am I liable for any action though I have not signed any offer as of yet.
I have given an email confirmation of offer acceptance.
3. Please guide me as I want to take the best decision, I wish to take up the second offer in hand.
Thanks.
