They want you to accept first verbally before they go through filling out all the paperwork. It's totally standard.

Be enthusiastic! You can say you're excited about the opportunity/agency/account without committing to the salary/start date right then and there. I typically tell them I'm happy, and ask for time to think about the details

Not at all. Everyone knows you should neg them into giving you the best offer. At least that’s what Silicon Valley taught me.

Get the paperwork first. A verbal offer is nothing but an exciting phone call. Congrats though!

I usually go from 6 to midnight on calls like that.

They said, “we can’t hit your salary requirements”. I said, meet me halfway and it’s a done deal.” They called me 2 minutes later and it was a go. Know your worth.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Question about inclusion….

While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
