When I was pregnant with my first baby, my manager (at that time) was sensing that I wasn’t gonna come back to the office after I gave birth. When I gave them my notice they offered things to make the gig more juicy, but I politely declined. And I am so glad I did, because I took my time with my baby and after that I started my first business. Now 6 years later I am working on my 3rd business and make so much more money while working less. I’m glad I made the decision back then.

I can’t recall turning down a juicy offer. But I can see how anyone else would regret such a decision afterwards. Great post as always! Thanks so much for sharing!
😍👏🏿
I don’t recall turning down any big offers because I believe in life opportunities come and knock only once in life. If I get the chance I do it.
😍👏🏿
I did turn down a job offer once. but I do not regret it. In fact its one of the best turns in my life. When you close a door another dorr opens.
😍👏🏿
I can’t think of any right now, but I’m sure I have. You have to trust your instincts and then you’ll never regret it.

I was offered something that was really hard to get but turned it down. It was because I was saving up for something else and I hoped it wouldn’t burn my bridges but thankfully, it didn’t
😍👏🏿
I don’t recall turning down a good offer. In any case, it’s great that what I’ve encountered (offers) before are aligned with my values and interests so I always ended up signing with those companies.
😍👏🏿
I had many times because of many different reasons. I only regret the latest one.
I believe, it’s important to prioritize our values and long-term goals over short-term gains. Turning down a tempting offer may require courage and foresight, but it can ultimately lead to greater fulfillment and success.

I am a business owner so I don´t know if I can relate. But in a way I lost some good clients due to my inflexibility so maybe that would count. And I deeply regret some of my decisions.
😍👏🏿
It would be difficult to turn a juicy offer unless it’s impossible to accept. I don’t remember I did it before.

I did receive a very lucrative compensation offer for employment a few years back. The salary and benefit package was very enticing. I did accept the offer, however, I only lasted a year in the company. Turns out it was run by ruthless people who treated their employees like robots.
😩😩
No, I haven’t. I wish I’d get a really juicy offer for work. My job is great but doesn’t pay great. 🙂
😩😩
I did last year! I turned down an offer for $40K more than my current salary so I could continue to do what I love. Sometimes I regret it, but there’s always a new opportunity!
😍👏🏿
I can’t think of a really juicy offer that I turned down. I have quit jobs before and they begged me to stay.
👏🏿👍
Yes, because there are always pros and cons! Things usually aren’t as simple or straightforward as they seem. You have to weigh your options even with good offers.
😍👏🏿
I don’t recall turning down a juicy offer. I live life a bit serendipitously so I may have turned one down but not realized it. I know there are offers in life I wish I had turned down, but maybe not because I am happy where I am so maybe the ‘not so good offers’ are part of who I am. Does this make sense?!
😍👏🏿
I can’t recall if I have turned down a juicy offer before. I was lucky enough to get many great jobs with lots of life experiences.
😍👏🏿
I’m actually turning one down tomorrow! I’ve decided that it’s not what I want to focus on and am more than happy for someone else to take over that really wants to.
😍👏🏿👏🏿
I didn’t get in that situation to share my experience, lol. Everytime I find a job I get it right away as my plan. Not sure if you call it a juicy offer.
😆👍
I can’t think of a time that I have turned down a great offer. Kind of makes me wonder if I tend to jump on anything that comes my way. Might have to be a bit more selective.
😍👍
I don’t think I have ever received a juicy offer before. I don’t think I will be able to handle the aftermath of turning down the offer. It would really break me down.
😩😩
I hope I did not. I can’t recall turning down a juicy offer. Would be pissed now 😉
😆🙏🏽
I turned down an offer to be relocated to one of our branches abroad since I didn’t want to be away from my family and there was no option to bring them with me.
🙏🏽👍
I think everyone has that one offer in life they wish they didn’t turn down.
👍👏🏿
I have not and don’t think I can turn down one.
I focus on exploring any opportunity so long as it aligns with my aspirations
👍🙏🏽
