KPMG I cleared all the rounds of my interview with KPMG and was asked to provide necessary documents and fill a CAF form a week back and had a HR discussion too. I have requested for about 3Lakhs additional fixed pay since my current CTC has increased and HR said she will get back on this. It's been a week and haven't heard back on the offer letter. How long do you think I should wait. Please wait.
Revolut is the new Deloitte. Thoughts?

A few possibilities:
1) he is hitting on you
2) he is a weirdo who is going to demand you get him breakfast
3) someone told him that he needs to make more of an effort to connect with the staff on non-work topics to build team morale, and this is him trying
Out of curiosity, is he an older guy and you are a younger women?
He’s practicing being human. It’s like going to the zoo for a c-suite. “Maybe this one will interact with me.”

I’d just write back “great menu choice!” And leave it at that.

I wouldn’t spend any brain cells trying to figure out what he wants. Sounds like it was an awkward convo to begin with.

Whatever the reason for his weird email, you can’t go wrong with responding along the lines of “That sounds delicious. Will have to try it sometime.”

Noooo, that’s an opening. You need here the old standby of, “great, thanks!” And the fact that it kind of doesn’t fit is the point.

Do you know said partner? Ask him if he meant to contact someone else as you don't always go and don't have the bandwidth to place food orders...

OP, you see people in hallways? And eat IN a breakfast place?
Where are you located?
I want to go there.
It sounds like he's trying to get to know you. Maybe he saw you there once or maybe he just knew it's a popular place in the neighborhood.
