Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

I got a verbal offer as SDE1 after an Interview event at seattle. I requested the HR to help me find a new team in the bay area. I was introduced to a new HR who scheduled a meeting with a manager. After talking to the Manager, there is no communication. I have communicated my intent to join the team and have informed both HR and the manager just after the meeting. Since then even after couple of follow up message, there is no reply. It's been 2 weeks. Is it normal?
That manager may not have been interested in being you on to his team and the HR rep has no relation to you. I’d suggest reaching out to the HR rep you were working with when you received the verbal offer
Sure .will do.
They are waiting to see if their first choice works out most likely
Actually this was an interview event. I was told it was not for a specific role.
Recruiters work for a single business unit and are usually incentivized to work only for their unit. You requested to be put in a different business unit so your original recruiter now has less motivation to close you. The other team might not want you based on something in your interview or background, the recruiter from the other team didn’t find you on their own. So they will also not have an incentive to hire you. If I was you I would go back to original team and take the first offer and try and move teams in a couple months. That’s if they haven’t already filled all their sde I spots for the year already
I reached out to my original recuiter and she replied saying she will get me an update by EOW. I will update this thread with updates.
It's unusual, I was in the exact same position and the recruiter was calling me daily to close. Had to tell him I would make a decision only after ive had a few days to consider.
How long did it take for you to get an official offer after getting the verbal offer?
It took a week and half since I did a few rounds of team matching
