Lateral Hire: Simple email read over 100 times in 1 day? Red Flag?
Received a lateral analyst offer a couple of weeks ago from a big bank and HR yesterday reached out to inform me that I’ve passed the background check and inquired whether I would be able to start the new job in 2 weeks. I had sent out an email responding to the HR that I would be able to start in 2 weeks and that I was excited to join the team.
The HR didn’t reply to my email but, over the course of the day, that one simple email that I sent to HR was read over 100+ times (I have an email tracker installed by default which is usually pretty accurate) presumably by a few different people in the company.
I’ve haven’t come across a situation where a simple email that I sent was reviewed that many times and was wondering if I should be concerned about this and what’s the likely reason for the email being reviewed over 100 times in 1 days. The HR also hasn’t responded to my email as well if that matters.
Maybe I'm a bit pessimistic but when relatively unusual things like this occur, I have a tendency to feel like the team may screw me over (e.g., rescind offer, hire me and then fire me within a few months, interview others even though I accepted offer already, etc) and the last thing that I want in this type of economy is to move into an unstable job/company and get screwed over somehow.
Thanks in advance.
Lol, think logically -- they emailed you asking if you can start in 2 weeks and you said yes. You're good, enjoy the next few weeks of peace
Thanks, intern!
can I dm you? Need analyst lateral advice
Probably forwarded the email that you can start in 2 weeks to the rest of the team. It’s not that deep
Is it possible they have a large HR department that has an email distribution list?
Yep they got everyone in the office to look at your acceptance email to laugh at you before rescinding the offer
