The hm is telling me that he would proceed with official offer only if I accept it verbally first.and if I don't sign the offer letter later on, even though verbal confirmation isn't legally binding it would be morally incorrect to go back on it. The reason he provided me was he has multiple positions to fill and wouldn't want to waste time on generating offers. Do you think I run the risk of burning bridges or getting blacklisted for any futures positions at this company if I don't sign the offer letter? It's no dream company for me but it gives me an opportunity to continue interviewing elsewhere and nothing works out I can fallback on this option. The company is OCI. The reason I am not certain about joining new company is it's uncertain future. What can I do in this scenario? Offer 190k 1.5 yoe.
If itโs that small of a company that youโre worried about its future, then yes youโre likely burning a bridge by not accepting. If you donโt care, then go ahead. If you liked the company enough that youโre okay working there, then do it.

If you're talented and get stuff done, you can build more bridges than those that are burned. ๐ฏ
Know that everyone plays a pressure game. You should work around by saying that you would like to see the offer letter for a position (that you found interesting) and you need few days to crunch your numbers (whatever that may mean) to buy time.
This manager sounds like a turd to work for. Those are cheap emotional manipulation games. ๐ฉ
So you want to break their trust and still expect them to trust you next time ? Just reject the offer and move on.
No company/hm asks you to confirm verbally before providing offer letter
What is the difference between deciding after hearing the numbers vs seeing them on paper? If the numbers are different, then the discussion is different.
