Interview story: I was hired on the spot at an agreed upon verbal offer of $90,000. The partner told me to put in my two weeks notice. It’s a good thing that I did not do that l, as the company called me back the next day and informed me that they were lowering their offer to $75,000. Moral of the story: get it in writing.

Exactly. I had two job offers this month. My priority was Company 2 but its offer was oral. Company 1 gave me a written offer. Company 2 did not have enough time to prepare a written offer before the offer from Company 1 expired. I decided not to take a risk and accepted the offer from Company 1. OP story proves that my decision was right!

like

Company 2 has a hiring freeze and they said that it might take approximately one week to receive all approvals from management to hire externally as opposed to internally, before a written offer will be sent to me.

Wow good thing you didn’t go there. Sounds like a warming bell for tons of other problems

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.
