I was given a verbal offer and then the media agency lost an account before I could sign an offer letter. Now there is a temporary hiring freeze. Is there any hope? I’m really sad about this.

They shouldn’t have given you a verbal offer (or even interviewed you) if they knew the account was under review IMO

This happened to me too, at a previous agency!! I had to wait 4-5 months for the approval to go through but it did happen in the end. I made sure I kept in regular contact with the head of dept who interviewed me - I didn’t go go via HR at this stage. Your other option is to talk to them about another team?

Hello,

I will be joining PWC AC Bangalore in couple of weeks for SAP tech stack.
I am joining from a product based company. So wanted to know how we are assigned to projects. Will there be any client interviews. If yes will it be very tough? Do we get a say in the projects we can get to work or its usually assigned and we have to take it up.

Thank You.

During the interview, If the interviewer recommended you to talk to somebody else in the firm but not the original rescheduled interviewers,what does that mean? After the recommendation, he stopped asking me questions. And the conversation only covered about 60% of the whole interview timeline. Shall I follow up with him about the ‘mentioned talk’?
