You got through several rounds of interviews, fielded hypotheticals, talked about your deal sheet and met with a handful of partners. You got an offer. Amazing, right?
But there’s a problem. Your gut says no. It’s not the right fit, it’s not what you’re looking for, something isn’t sitting right. Saying “no” is not so easy and it’s a process that you should approach with care. It could impact your career in the future and is a reflection on you.
Relationships matter. The firm has invested a lot of time in you and you’ve invested a lot of time in them. You’ve met important contacts with whom you may very well cross paths with in the future. Interviewing is a form of networking and can be helpful for you even if you decline the offer in the end if you handle it strategically. Declining gracefully and professionally leaves the door open for you to reconnect in the future.
