After the first two weeks of December, yes, at least if you’re in the US.

Yes both November and December are slow. A lot of people out for holidays, trying to hit year end financial targets means squeezing costs and of course still finalizing budgets for next year

like

It depends on how far into the recruitment process you’ve already gone by November/December. If they’ve already started interviewing you and you have one interview left till decision stage, it’s likely that they’ll want to close out before the holiday

like

It depends. I’d follow before and after the holidays to stay top of mind if they’re still recruiting for the role in the new year

like

It has to be a banner year in industry for hiring to continue as year end approaches. Companies want give-backs and reduction in costs to maximize their next-year bonuses...

like

Yes, almost always. Nobody’s reading resumes and scheduling interviews the last two weeks of Dec.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
