I got a verbal offer from a company almost 3 months ago now. But due to it being close to the holidays, and having to schedule meetings with hiring managers (to join a team) around their PTO and the holidays, the timeline’s been looking kinda wonky. I got to talk to a manager a bit before Christmas time. I’ve emailed the recruiter who’s supposed to be letting me know of next steps a few times now since the new year, but it feels like she’s ghosting me. What should I do? I’m getting super anxious

You got a “verbal” offer before you had a series of interviews?

The above doesn’t really make too much sense. And people not having any time for 3 months (quarter of a year), doesn’t make sense / seems like a lead on / red flag.

This sounds like a "you didn't get this role, but we like you so let's find you a role" situation. Is this the case? Are they trying to place you in a team or did you get an offer for a specific team/role and they haven't been able to nail down start date?

Both are red flags TBH

How desperate are you to leave? Apply some pressure tell them you have competing offers and need clear written next steps by end of next week.

Do you want this job that bad that you waited three months

I feel like I should be able to do more than encourage her but I know some battles she had to fight on her own.
