Yea we pretty much have a firm shut down (i say pretty much for those that will complain they're working) at the moment. I'd be surprised if you hear anything back before the the 6th.

@OP, I know it's tough mate; hang in there mentally. You have a verbal offer and that's still a big deal.

It's the holiday season and everyone is on PTO so I would challenge you to take your mind off work for a bit as well. I think the mental break until next week would do you good!

I got my real offer at Deloitte after 8 weeks verbal offer. Ended up being worth the wait. These big companies don’t really lie, if there’s a delay it’s for a reason (mine was fiscal year), and if they didn’t like you they would reject you. I’d say go get a competing offer but stay optimistic and follow up often!

You coming from an audit client by chance? My last firm was an audit client of K’s. From verbal to written was 7 weeks.

They had to get approval from my old firm’s CFO.

company shutdown lol most people not working

Holidays is definitely the first reason. Also there is a legal team that has to vet all candidates with any previous contracts. My offer got delayed by over a week because the recruiter forgot to submit my non-compete with a previous employer to legal

In my early 30s, single and realizing i barely have friends. Technically i have a bunch of friends all over the country (thanks to me moving around quite a bit) but not where I live so i don't see them as often. I shed a few so called friends post-pandemic who were flakey, some got married and spend most of their time with their families. I have like 2 people to invite for my birthday. Is that natural for 30s to have little friends or do i need to re-evaluate my life?
