Depends on the vertical I think. ERP people I know seem to like strategy, technical cyber people I know seem to hate strategy.

Job A is a large company, well-known, great benefits, consulting (no past consulting experience).

Trying to decide which is best as a career move, salary is comparable for both, TIA!!!

Hello folks!

I've cleared all rounds of interviews in a good company (atleast acc to me) and since they accepted my 3 months NP so I don't want to let it go.
The problem is its been around 2 weeks and I still haven't received offer letter after final discussion. Till now I was following up with HR, he is a good person (what I felt).
I'm getting a little restless and want to follow up with the manager(who took my interview) to fasten the process without appearing desperate.
Any suggestions?🙏
