Globant India Pvt. Ltd. Hi Globers ! I have an offer from Globant for the role of a BA. While discussing the role with HR pre and post the interviews & offer, I had specifically ask the HR to tag me to Ahmedabad location as that's my hometown and I do not wish to relocate. But she has rolled out the offer for Pune location ane verbally ( isn't giving me in writing ) assured me that the location will be flexible. May I know from the fellow Globers if we have location flexibility or WFH option available? Globant India Pv

Contract opportunities move very quickly, they probably need you to accept or they will want to move on to the next available person. There might be a bunch of competing agencies vying for the role. Honestly, I would just accept it and if you get the full time offer, bail. I’m sure they will be able to replace you pretty quickly (no offense but that’s the nature of freelance)
Honestly, you should just accept and keep interviewing wth the large tech company. With the way the economy and layoffs are going, the first place to be hit is big tech so I wouldn't put all your egss in one basket
Ask when the contract starts - it is probably not this second. You accept the freelance offer and still interview. If you get the job - you can be honest. You’d rather work full-time than freelance.
This seems like a trade off you won’t be able to get around easily. Happens every time when you get two offers at the same time. Don’t rush, things will work out themselves.
In your experience, could I push back and ask for a written offer and a week to think about it? Or are recruiting agencies always this pushy..
Yes, most are pushy. You don’t need to follow their timeline at all.
A lot of the time the companies don’t even know the recruiters act this way, they want to close the deal as they get paid by each recruit. It’s like a car salesman, unless you have a really lovely, considerate, great recruiter
You have all the power here, unless you’re desperate to accept this “verbal” offer which by the way is not guaranteed at all. Hope this helps!
Thank you all for such helpful responses. I’m going to accept and keeping interviewing with the tech company. I’m a little nervous about bailing if it comes to that, but permanent would be more secure. Any tips on going back on an offer without completely burning that bridge?
