Hi all, does anyone know of any recruiters or hiring managers that work in Affirm Inc. I've been applying for a couple of jobs with them . The role I have applied for I know lam a extraordinary fit for
100% and can help the company/ department succeed. I have a good deal of experience with this role and would love to talk to a recruiter or a hiring manager more about this. If anyone
could reach out to me if you have any information on that I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi ,I have been interviewed and selected in S&P Global .salary almost negotiated and waiting for the offer letter to release. But seems like they are not willing to release the offer because of my 90 np . They are asking to join by 60 days but initially I told them my NP is 90. Even I am ready to take the 60 days offer but now they are not releasing offer as they want assurance.Now they are not picking calls.seems like i will loose the offer. Is there anything can be done.

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

It could also be because they track written offers to determine their acceptance rate. If they dont write you an offer they may not track it if you decline. It makes their numbers look better
Sounds like they don’t want you to play them off of each other to up your salary. If they give you a written offer, you can use it as support to up an offer somewhere else
They are aware of each other - the first said they want to know I’m interested before giving a written offer. I’ve expressed general interest and wanting to compare both, etc. I shouldn’t have to pledge allegiance just to see a written offer, right? Giving me weird vibe
Had a company do this to me. I also thought it was shady and told them that. Eventually they gave me a written offer that was five percent higher than the verbal offer without me further negotiating the numbers with them. Really strange.
Well, as an update - I reiterated that I want to review and evaluate both offers, and that their providing a formal offer is key to that. They just stood by ‘wanting to connect on my interest’ and won’t give me a written offer. I have lost interest because of this and do not understand what the hang up is
Assuming you already negotiated salary prior to the written offer, I would think they don’t want their competitors knowing their compensation and benefits package etc. since all of that would be included in the formal offer letter
Why would you care about the written offer other than to use as leverage for negotiations with the other firm?
Right, but isn’t the possibility of ‘playing’ offers against each other just always a possibility? I wasn’t planning on giving the written offer to the other firm, so that seems dumb. Like they’re being overly protective to something they can’t. So now they look guarded and untrustworthy
Yes it’s always a possibility but now they know it’s a sure thing because of your candor. If they are going to play the game, I would just ride it out and act interested. Gotta look out for numoro uno.
AA1 - to see all of the details beyond the two main points said verbally, and to see if looking at it raises any questions I might not think of otherwise?
Lol did you accept? ^
It’s just a sales tactic- they’re looking to box you in and have you make the decision on which firm (preferably there’s), removing compensation out of the equation (which would be silly from your vantage point). The idea though is that you become sold on and choose their company vs the other one., and then compensation is negotiable and “not as big of a deal.”
It’s essentially flipping the script and putting the ball in your court to make the call vs them giving a written offer that you may just turn down .
