Do you tell recruiter that you don’t want to sign their offer yet because you are waiting/still interviewing with another company? If not, what do you do?

There's a deadline. If it isn't in the offer itself, it must be in another communication. Define a response deadline with your recruiter. If you don't, and their deadline passes, they may assume you're not interested and you will lose the offer.

Hello sharks,

Recently attended the TCS interview for the role of cloud architect and it went well.

HR asked me to upload all the documents and verified.
Then HR called me to discuss the salary and told me that she will inform the management.

Almost 3 working days after the call, haven't received any updates! Tried to call HR but not picking up the call. I assume it's because of these continuous holidays.

Is this usual!

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Do you get a verbal first or do they wait to have a contract?

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
