I work as a junior in-house counsel in a small legal team of 2 in a small private company (without name recognition). My comp is a little more than $100,000 (VHCOL, 2 yoe). I’ve been interviewing with firms since I am not getting the training necessary to grow and don’t know my long-term career prospects of staying here. Should I wait a couple more years before making a move to another in-house position or try to move to a firm? More in the comments below.

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.
