How to decline a job offer
The situation
A company you interviewed with sent an offer, but you've decided to go elsewhere.
The goal
Turn down a job offer without closing the door on future opportunities.
Draft (the wrong way)
Thanks so much for the offer but I'm going to have to pass, sorry about that, hope we can stay in touch.
Parse-optimized draft
Thank you for the offer and for the time your team invested in the process — it meant a lot. After careful consideration, I've decided to accept another opportunity that's a closer fit for what I'm looking for right now. I have real respect for what [company] is building and I hope our paths cross again down the line.
