I agree. If a company has a problem with you leaving your previous employer in a respectful manner, that's a red flag.
its the recruiter pressuring me, think he may just want his commission. im going to contact their hr dep. directly, i'd feel really shitty about leaving on short notice unless there were some training thing they desperately needed me to be in. but i started the prcocess with this company like a month ago, so if it were so time sensitive they shouldnt have dragged it on so long.
thanks for the help, fellas. transitions are stressful.
It isn't a real offer until HR has cleared you. It's just a tentative offer. I had a tentative offer go sour because my would-be boss and boss's boss were laid off while HR was drafting the paperwork/doing their thing, when the company was found to be cooking the books.
right, so i cant give notice till its actually a done deal, either.
wtf
the co. doesnt care when i start, think it was the recruiter getting over zealous.
that aside, he hooked me up pretty good. the company is tough to get a spot, and despite the role being essentially what im already doing, the compensation is significantly better.
i know its the co. that pays the recruiter, but should i tip him? send him a gift basket (no homo) or something? anyone know standard recruiter practices?
No experience with head hunters but I once bought a guy a round of golf who hooked me up with an interview for a job I eventually turned down. He kept me in mind for a few other things that he became aware of (one that lead me to a different job down the line). It was kind of a thanks and sorry gift since I turned it down.
rd of golf is a good idea, think he mentioned he plays. did you get just the one pass or what?
I think I went with a little more than a single round and a cart on the weekend. I don't think it was enough for two walkers. It was a gift certificate that he could use in the shop or restaurant if he chose (there were certain restrictions).
congrats on the offer b. I'm 11 days into my new one. Stressful as shit, a ton to learn, and not much time for internets, but it's a stepping stone on the way to prosperity. Good luck with the transition, I'm definitely glad to be most of the way through.
