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

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

Hi I was interviewed by Capgemini in December 2021 and surprisingly they called in February 2022 for second round.

1. When can i expect call from hr?
2. I was thinking it is not genuine as they did not had clarity for which they were interviewing me. However in both round people who interviewed had email id with domain of Capgemini.

Did it happened with anybody else?

Please guide.
Thanks
