How to decline an offer after accepting a different role?
I have been interviewing with 2 companies, both of which I was equally interested in after the initial interviews with the hiring managers. After these interviews, one company (A) took a clear lead over the other (B). I just received an offer from Company A, and will be accepting it. At this time, I am no longer interested in Company B after meeting with more of the team and learning about the position. It does not align with my career goals or sound like a company I would like to work for. I did go through the full interview process with Company B in case Company A didn’t work out. I had the final interview with Company B today before receiving the offer from Company A, and believe there is a high probability that I will receive an offer from Company B. Would it be better to notify Company B now that I have accepted an offer? Or should I wait until they potentially offer me the role and respectfully decline it? The recruiter with Company B was aware that I was interviewing elsewhere and I let her know yesterday that I was expecting an offer from Company A.
