So I've heard alot about rescinded offers. Does this happen after everything is signed?

I've recently gotten an offer and I've signed it, just planning out my notice period so I was curious

Happened to me, keep interviewing until you officially start the job just in case.

I have heard of this happening but maybe once or twice in the last decade. Keep applying until the day you start.

I doubt it'll happen since they already got approvals. Unless you fail the background check

The offer did mention a check for eligibility to work in the country but that's about it. They haven't asked me anything about that formally

In the UK, if you have signed the offer then there is a legally binding contract. If they withdraw the offer after signing it must be due to any conditions placed on the offer (eg criminal checks)

In theory they can pull the job but then they have to give you the notice period in the contract for the probationary period (eg one week’s notice)

If they just pull the offer and make no compensation you can take them to court - after all, you had to quit your previous job to accept the offer

Unfortunately, most US offers are explicitly not a contract. Some states have at-will employment meaning they could let you go at any time without any reason as long as their lawyers don't expect you to sue them based on a protected class such as race.

Europe, I mean, UK.. is quite different in many ways. US is the only country where employment at will applies.

It's been happening quite a lot this year in the SF Bay area. Many companies see their valuation drop due to economic downturn and institute a hiring freeze or even lay offs. Personell has a big impact on their bottom line.

Talk to the recruiter, have a start date in writing and the okay that background check has cleared. Don’t inform current company until background check is done. Only after that should you inform your current job.

If you live in one of the at-will employment states, yes. Technically anytime. But it doesn't mean companies would do it without reasons. It costs a lot of money to recruit a candidate.

It’s happened to me but they had only given a verbal offer and I hadn’t signed anything. I just started a new job last week so I was nervous about that too but I’ve been told that after signing it is highly unlikely they would rescind it

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Should I take more initiative? It’s my stub year and I’m getting worried.

Should I be reaching out more?

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
