It’s been two weeks since the MD said I had the job and the official paperwork is nowhere to be found. Every time I check in with the internal recruiter, I get a different excuse. I already stopped interviewing with other firms because I thought the search was finally over. How long would you wait before giving up? Should I start blasting out resumes again?

Do yourself a favor start interviewing again and move on.

I’d definitely start interviewing again. A verbal “you have the job” is not real until the offer is in writing. I’d follow up once more politely asking for a clear timeline, but I wouldn’t pause other opportunities until the paperwork is signed.

So I have two jobs I’m in the running for at the same company. Position A offered basically the same comp that I’m making now, and I’m still waiting on the results for Position B. Position A would like an answer by tomorrow AM (I was told today, I asked for more time and they said no). Would you guys ever take a job at the pursuit of trying to switch internally in the company?

It’s always been a company that I’ve wanted to work at but making the same that I’m making now is what is stopping me
