Potential Reasons to Decline
So you followed these suggestions, but despite your best efforts, you must decline the job offer. Some possible reasons for declining this position include:
1. Personal expenses
You must live within your means, so a salary that is less than your financial needs will not suffice - and you should decline it.
2. A Better Offer
If you applied to multiple jobs at the same time, you may have received a better offer from another employer.
3. Appropriate Value
If the offered salary does not correspond to the average salary for someone in that position, you may feel justified in declining the offer.
