Had a weird conversation with IBM HR about counter offer. Despite explaining that it won't be ethical to share the other company's name. She says disclosing it's name is mandatory??? IBM

Thanks for confirming. I could sense that's not true.

Mostly they ask for snapshot of other offer letter. You can mask the firm’s name and share it

For me, they asked Offer Letter. I provided CTC snippet. They asked to provide full.

Mail them a snapshot of the IBM Offer Letter, where it says that it is confidential. State that other organizations have the same clause, and, that you take your personal responsibility to act fairly and ethically very seriously. :)

Also as an added bonus, ask them whether these aren't parts of the IBMs value system. IBM clearly claims that these are - and they would probably not make you backtrack on IBM's very public value expectations.

For me during managerial round , they asked me to share the offer letter from other company. They took the offer letter and only then conducted the interview

I can understand your concern ..
For me they had asked to share the counter offer to verify and provide the revised OL

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
