What firm? In a similar situation with Accenture. During the screening call, I made it clear right away I’m not set on moving yet, but want to go through the process so both parties can learn more about each other. I then asked if this is a position that needs to be filled immediately or 6+ months and the recruiter explained I can take as much time as I want after a few more conversations.

I did the same with Accenture. They approached but I was in conversation with D and knew D and us are far stronger at analytics than Accenture. Asked them timeline and if I can see out a few months at K first, they were fine with exploratory discussion. Did turn Acn down eventually though and only talking with D who offered, as K and D data analytics practices are still much better than Acn.

Starting a new position in a few weeks and have an opportunity to speak with my future boss before starting.

waiting on a final written offer, messaged the recruiter yesterday but received an automatic reply stating she won’t be back until tomorrow. Email stated to reach out to another recruiter for immediate assistance so I did. I emailed her , she said these offers do take some days because of the Hr and HM has to sign it. Once that happens my recruiter should send me the offer. Either on the day she comes back, but by the end of the week. I am going stir crazy, I really hate my current job. Help…

I am interviewing with a company. Last week, one week after the interview, my hiring manager reached out to me with a couple of clarifying questions. We talked then I sent him recommendation letters from my previous employers. He said that I should have an answer from them this week whether I get an offer or not. I haven’t heard back since and yesterday I reached out to the recruiter to get some status updates. She has not responded. It’s already Friday. Is it a bad sign or am I overthinking?
