I don't think recruiters have spare time to play games

Yeah, they play games. Many of them are ineffective and have no clue how to deliver and manage candidate experience. What was your experience like?

like

What kind of game are you suspecting. I doubt they’ll want to sabotage a hire so that they don’t get paid the referral

This question is on behalf of my friend:

Her current package is 2.5lpa from a small company (3yrs exp java spring boot) . She got offer from Accenture of 6lpa (fixed) . After this she had interview with cognizant and asked for package of 7 lpa. When she recieved the offer from cognizant it was of 10lpa fixed. Most interesting part after 2 weeks she got revised offer letter from cogni without any discussion of 16lpa with 1L joining bonus.

How can we analyse and suggest her regarding offer.

I would like to hear opinions. I got two interviews and 2 days after my last one on a Sunday I received an offer. I reviewed and counter-offered on Tuesday and I received an email on Thursday saying that they could give me what I asked and that they were going to send me a new offer that same day or the day after. A week has passed, I sent a politely follow up email and nothing. It’s that normal? What do you think?
