Full Time Offer Revoked
Hi all,
Newly grad that had a verbal offer for a tier 2 rx consulting firm- They recently let me know that they wouldn't be able to take me full time due right now but said it's possible (since they don't recruit from a traditional class) that they might take me at the end of this year.
I was wondering if you guys have any tips in the meantime (wsp 13wcf modeling course, find a tech startup, bartending)
thanks
Really? That's interesting, did they explicitly mention that your offer was revoked, or just delayed? Haven't really heard of firms doing that recently, so I'm just intrigued...do you have any guesses why that would've occurred, and were others similarly impacted?
Anyways, to your original question, yeah I'd find something else to do that either 1) teaches you something (courses etc) or 2) is another job. I'd personally go for 2, because it's a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket (in this case that they'll hire you at the end of the year). If you were initially extended the offer, that means you were good enough, and that also means that you'll likely be good enough for a bunch of other roles, so I'd recruit elsewhere as well.
thanks - I was given a verbal offer and then told a few days later they couldn't take me because of deal flow so i never signed. not sure given the current rx environment. looking at other places although current job market sucks
deal flow bad?? wtf i thought it was increasing esp given macro
Always assume the worst. Companies don't care about you, but they know you are a smart person. Thus, they're basically trying to keep you at arms length so that they don't have to run a whole search process in six months if they decide to add headcount. I would strongly advise you to pound the pavement and start sourcing other opportunities. I am sure people will be sympathetic to your situation.
Out of curiosity, would they not just look to give a delayed start date in this case? 6 months or 1 year delayed as is the practice with most slowdowns? If they haven't given a written offer, I would also advise assuming worst case. They've basically given a non-commital answer on a pretty thin basis. Deal flow is so bad that they're not hiring? That couldn't be deduced a month or two ago? It's bad enough to not hire you, but not affect current employees?
I'd call BS since that reasoning seems ill defined and convenient, but remain engaged with periodic check ins (typically every 3-6 months). Under the right circumstances, I'd even see if it's possible to negotiate a delayed start date in place of being kept in the dark.
Thank you I plan on staying in somewhat routine contact. Might ask HR if a delayed start is possible.
