Umm should I reach out to recruiter or wait and see or forget? So I am starting a new job next week and the company I interviewed for(Microsoft) before told me they liked me but they are having headcount issues and for me to check back with them. Even the director had a meeting with me after final round to determine fit and hr said I am a good fit. It is a government contract so maybe that's why.

Should I even bother with this or worry about it if they reach back to me?

I would reach out. There’s nothing worse than not knowing what ended up happening

Hmmm… I mean I would weigh what position would be better for you if the recruiter is still wanting to onboard you … I heard Microsoft matches 50% of 501k for some positions so definitely think about benefits and growth when choosing
