This matters because in India we have notice periods that are 2 to 3 months by default so it is difficult to get the first offer letter.
When I was looking for a change and decided to decline offers, I wrote to the HRs much before my joining date as I didn't want to be like the bad HRs I had faced.
By "decline offer" you mean, when it was offered or after accepting it?
I had very low salary so I had to get multiple offers because for some reason no company gives acc to their payscale, they count pennies like a miser and give only 30%
However, when I landed an offer at a non service company, I stopped interview processes as I was ok with comp & with the company work & culture.
I cancelled 4 ongoing interviews and immediately wrote to my 2 other companies whose offers I had that I got a better offer.
The ongoing interviews' HR said he'd give better salary but I was satisfied so I declined it.
In pandemic they gave 0 hike and increased notice period to 6 months etc and still scores resigned.
And then suddenly the top HR had an unceremonious exit and policies improved a LOT
