Tips
Check the entire offer letter before accepting: job title, pay and what's included, joining date, probation, notice period, and work location.
Reply by the deadline given in the offer. If you need extra time, ask for it instead of staying silent.
Include the main details (job title, joining date, and pay) in your email, so there's a written record of what you agreed.
If asked by the company, sign and send back the offer letter too. The email doesn't take its place.
Wait to resign from your current job until you have the offer in writing and have accepted it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I accept a job offer through email?
Thank the recruiter, clearly state that you accept the job, and confirm your joining date and the pay as per the offer. Ask what comes next and keep it brief.
Is it better to accept a job offer by phone or email?
Both are good. Say yes on the call if you're ready, then send an email the same day to have a written record.
Is it okay to negotiate before I accept?
Yes, that's the best time. After accepting, changing the terms is much harder. You can use the salary negotiation email template.
What should I do if I need a new joining date?
Ask for it before you accept or as soon as you can. Suggest a new date and explain briefly, like mentioning your notice period.
