After 9 months of searching, I finally received an offer (written form via email) which I accepted pretty much right away. Then silenced for nearly 2 weeks so I followed up and the offer was then retracted. Had this happen to anyone else?

Received and accepted an offer last month. Passed administratative and background checks and was cleared for new hire orientation on the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Received a call from HR the Thursday before expressing regret that they had to rescind the offer. Adding further insult to injury the job was reposted at a lower salary range. It is very, very discouraging that this is becoming commonplace.

I've been hearing this a lot lately. Happened to a friend of mine. Real sh*tty move. They send an offer to hook you in while they're still interviewing. Buys them time to uncover every last stone.

This is terrible. I am sorry this happened to you. I hope this isn't becoming a trend.

So sorry to hear this. Sending you best wishes for future roles

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
