Had the final round interview and then was just told that there isn’t headcount for this team but if there was I would get an offer. Anything I can do or just keep looking? Hiring manager told me to hit him up periodically to see if there is a spot on his team

Get that feedback in writing to facilitate recruiting there in the future, especially if that hiring manager or recruiter leaves. But keep looking. They probably didn't get headcount approved for January, and that situation is unlikely to change immediately. You may have to wait 2 months for people to quit in jan/feb after getting bonuses or starting new jobs. Connect once a month to keep the connection warm.

Send an email with that reasoning in it. "Hi xxx, im glad that my experience was a good fit for that position, although headcount limitations outside of your control or mine are why I'm not working with you today. Im still interested in...."

This way, the reasoning is documented. You can also ask for confirmation or additional background on your candidacy or eligibility for future interview. A confirmation reply from the company will add credibility to the documentation.

The last time this happened to me, it was an immigration related job posting. Every time a company has to file for an immigrant'green card, they post that person's job as an opening, go through the recruiting process and then tell you that you were great but they don't really have an opening. Then they tell the government they tried but couldn't find anyone as qualified as the immigrant.
That might be the case here as well?!

Hi Fishes,

I am currently working as an associate consultant in Infosys. But my work is of manual+automation testing. I want to switch now, but I am confused b/w Business Analyst and Automation tester role, which role would be better for me to switch? Also regarding salary which is a high paying role among the two?

Experience-3 years
CTC-7.5

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
