BlissfulBansheeJob Offer Turns Into a Disappearing Act 😓
I thought I was finally catching a break in my job search. After rounds of interviews, Company 7 gave me an offer, but insisted I decide by noon the next day. I politely asked for a bit more time since I was waiting on another company, but the manager seemed offended that I wasn't ready to jump in immediately. I tried to smooth things over, apologized, and explained my situation. I even asked about benefits and flexibility, hoping to make the best decision. Under pressure, I accepted their offer, thinking I’d finally landed the job. But then—plot twist—they suddenly retracted the offer, saying they’d hire internally instead. Now I’m left wondering: did I handle this all wrong? Should I have just accepted immediately? Has anyone else been in this situation? I could really use some advice right now. 😔 #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #WorkplaceDilemmas #JobCareer

They were understandably offended. If you don’t like a company enough for it to be more than a money game, they’ll find someone more excited for the position. There’s always someone else who would be excited to get that offer.
Take the offer & then back out if you get a better offer. Never tell a company you’re choosing between or they’ll take away one option.

I disagree. If the company is unable.to wait even 24 hours for you to make a decision they have absolutely not a care in the world tor you or your wellbeing. Nor are they confident in what they have to offer. Had you taken the position it would only get worse. Then they have you over a barrel holding your livlihood over your head. Dodged a bullet, chin up, keep on walking.

You should always accept the offer, if a better offer or fit come into play take it. It’s nothing wrong with going back to the company any telling them you have a better offer. You see how they treated you, so you must consider your future and not there’s.
