I reached final stage and got asked for availability “to start ASAP.” Then radio silence for a week. How does ASAP turn into eventually so fast in recruitment?

That's just the state of things right now. Every part of the job searching process drags on longer than it should, hiring included. They're probably just waiting on approvals or something mundane like that. How long has it been since? If it's been > week, send a follow up to see where things stand.

I agree. “ASAP” usually means subject to approvals, budget sign off, or someone being off. I have learned it is rarely urgency, more uncertainty. I will follow up, but I no longer read speed into those words.

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.
