I received a verbal offer 3 weeks ago. Every follow up is responded with “waiting on the client” for final and paper offer. Should I give up?

So is this a job with WITCH company? They usually hire employees based on active client requirements rather than over all growth driven hiring.

What happens when that project gets over? Typically these Infosys wipro will give you 2-3 weeks on bench to find another project or you are gone

funny

It’s not actually. And it’s sold work for direct staffing. Just odd.

You should go ahead and quit your current role to show dedication

funny

Don’t join this company unless you are jobless now.

They are going to mis handle you after you join them.

uplifting

If it is project dependent hiring, then it was always going to be a bit shaky.

At Guidehouse I signed my offer letter in December & didn’t start until mid march because it was contingent on passing the background check
