Old manager had an open role on his team at new company. I went through the interview process and was told I got the offer. He wants me to decide ASAP but I want to see the actual letter and make sure the jump is worth it. He quoted me numbers and wanted me to decide before recruiter reached out. I asked to extend twice cuz he wanted an answer ASAP (within 1-3 days) without me seeing numbers. I’d rather have the tangible offer and decide. Is it unprofessional to ask?

There simply isn’t a decision to be made without a written offer.

Is he expecting you to quit your current job without even having passed a background check, knowing salary and benefits, etc? Tell him to pound sand. This isn’t somewhere you want to be if that’s how they’re operating.

I'm just here to say I haven't heard the phrase pound sand in awhile. Thank you!

Lol no, you should always have a written offer letter before you decide. He your manager is impatient he can call up HR and push them along

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing.

Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad. I think I showed off my business knowledge, but he kept harping on my lack of an official framework (vs me saying "I'd explore it from different stakeholder perspectives: customer, line employee, management"); pretty sure he considered it a failure.
