Ask what you can expect on your first day or week and let that information settle in.

When to accept new job offer. Consider things like your commute work schedule work-life balance and other factors that affect your life. Job outlook and security are important factors to consider when deciding on a new job. It is important to accept a final written job offer and find out your start date before quitting your current job and ending your job search.

Instead of talking yourself into something explore other alternatives like accepting the job for a short-term period say six to nine months while you look elsewhere. Receiving multiple job offers indicates that you are a qualified candidate and that several companies are interested in working with you. You might have accepted the first offer because it seemed better on the surface or because you desperately needed income to cover something like student loan payments.

Make sure that you are getting paid what youre worth and you are happy with the compensation. Decide if these changes benefit you or would be potential challenges. Everyone has their reasons.

Some jobs of course do not have all of these hoops to jump through. You must take some steps before applying for another job. If your answer is no then dont accept the offer at least right away.

However if you receive a job offer from another company you must first persuade your current employer to let you leave. Between 10 and 25 percent of employees leave their jobs within the first six months according to a survey performed by Korn Ferry. Id like to formally accept your offer for the role of Customer Solutions Engineer and join the company with my first day being March 1st.

The time to negotiate your salary and benefits is before youve accepted the position. If you find that the benefits of this job are greater than your current job then this can be a sign to take the new job. Be sure to send a letter or email stating your withdrawal.
