I think yes!

Senior people would be able to help in a strong referral, but getting hired or influencing that is a difficult task.

Yes, that's usually how executive level professional get their jobs. Networks and golf clubs.

Who you know is almost as important as what you know,

They have some influence in the process but do not control it

Thoughts?

Hi folks,
I recently interviewed with VMWare and cleared all rounds. It was via a consulting firm. I got a confirmation that I am selected and HR will contact for offer discussion. However after sometime they called again and told me that HR has told that they will have offer discussion in January. Is it normal? Does it mean that they are looking for other potential candidates?
