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

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out. My wife is a family doctor, she is working insane hours, she is treating covid patients, and there is a lot of days when she has to stay at the hospital without coming home. My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>
