I’d be cool if it was just a day or two and they were going to send me a note.

That said if it were me you are my second call after my spouse upon getting the offer and for sure are at least getting a bottle of whiskey/wine etc with a handwritten note. Not saying anything is just messed.

People suck. Good job doing charity though. Fuhgettaboutit

You did the right thing in helping someone. Expecting anything in return ( even a simple acknowledgement) is not necessary and that makes you a better person.

Think of this as a charity work( I am sure you do not expect an ack or thanks, right?).

Move on!

Lmao, pls don’t pour yourself onto others. Protect your energy.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

I want to join a start up in my industry but I need to rescind a job acceptance from a more establish company. I resigned from my old job and didn’t start the new job yet. Is the non compete I signed, as part of the job offer acceptance for the position with the bigger company, enforceable if I rescind my job acceptance before I actually start a new job? I don’t think it is. I didn’t receive a sign on bonus so no additional consideration was exchanged from my understanding of my law classes.
