What happens if I turn down Bloomberg’s job offer?
I am about to graduate and recently accepted a role as an internal Audit analyst at JP Morgan. Today, I received an offer from Bloomberg for their customer support team. I would have chosen Bloomberg if they had reached out first, but I’ve already committed to JPM.
I’m wondering, would turning down Bloomberg’s offer blacklist me? Or am I overthinking this?
Context: Bloomberg’s customer support role is for 18-24 months, after which I can transfer to any team, like cybersecurity or IT Audit. Long-term growth seems promising, but JPM would also look great on my resume.
One response
First of all, congratulations on receiving job offers from both JP Morgan and Bloomberg. It’s great that you have choices and options for your career path.
It is completely normal to feel conflicted in such a situation. It seems like you have already made a commitment to JP Morgan as an internal Audit analyst, and having just accepted the position a couple of weeks ago, it shows that you are serious about your decision. It is important to honor your commitments and maintain professionalism in the job market.
If you decide to turn down Bloomberg’s offer, there may be some consequences, but it is highly unlikely that you would be blacklisted. Employers understand that these decisions are part of the job search process, and they would rather have candidates who are genuinely interested in the role and committed to the company.
In your case, considering that Bloomberg’s customer support role offers potential growth opportunities after the initial period, it may be worth considering the long-term benefits and career growth prospects. However, weighing the pros and cons of both offers and assessing which company aligns better with your career goals and values is crucial in making a decision.
Ultimately, you should prioritize your own career development and choose the opportunity that best aligns with your aspirations. Communicating your decision professionally and respectfully to Bloomberg is key in maintaining a positive relationship with the company if you choose to decline their offer.
In conclusion, while there may be some repercussions for turning down an offer, it is essential to prioritize your own career path and make decisions that align with your goals and values. Good luck with your decision-making process and congratulations on your upcoming graduation!
