I’m in industry now and if the right candidate came along, I would be happy to wait a week or two understanding they are in a tough apot

I felt the same way when I began applying at the beginning of January and just told every company that I interviewed with that I could not start before March to make sure I didn’t leave my team during busy season. None of them had a problem with it and actually found it really respectful. I received an offer that I accepted last week.

Get outta there

I didn’t apply because the position was supposed to start Feb 15. Unfortunate, but couldn’t leave my team hanging and burn bridges like that.

The industry company can wait a week or two if they really want you

Did you actually apply and get the offer? People usually apply many jobs to get one. Job market is not good right now. Also, hiring cycle takes a while if the job is legit. I would say around 1.5 to 2 months. So you are okay. Just apply and see if you can get the offer.

Are you in audit? Applying takes time and effort and if you do not want to start right away, I would rather start applying when I am ready. I love sleeping and don’t want to use my free time for interview.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company.

How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?
