Is it concerning if a recruiter is dancing around giving you an offer? or is it just busy bc of Q4, coordinating teams, start dates, and covid?

Wow!

Traditionally this time of year is def tricky. Covid times, as noted above - make it doubly tricky! Hang tight, just make sure to do EOW check-ins. Alternatively, keep your options open, just in case something else (maybe even more promising!) comes along.

this time of year is tricky as we have very few final scopes right now...that translates to tentative budgets...hard to make firm hiring decisions

I quit drinking at the first of the year because I was drinking too much as a way to cope with Covid. 99.9% of the time, I’m glad I quit drinking. And then there are those nights when I just want a glass of something to take the edge off, which makes me think alcohol was more of a coping mechanism than I thought and it’s probably a good thing I’m not drinking. I don’t even like wine very much, but I miss that low level buzz that makes everything a little less loud.
