Ok so I previously turned down an OCI offer (almost double my TC here, lvl 60) a few months ago. Its due to the frequent layoff and I expressed my concern to HR as for why turning it down. Now my dear colleague, senior level, tries to cut my throat so Im not interested in staying here. whats the possibility of me returning to the hr and hm to check if they are still interested? is this an ok practice in industry? Also silly on me for not jumping ship. Now I dont have vacation days to navigate this around. #OCI
I am literally laughing out loud. Believe me.
so where did I make a move so bad that deserves your laugh? also constructive feedback please. Now I need to run...
Well we had only one lay-off due to corporate restructuring. And you made it constant lay off. You had such a low opinion about us that you turned down a 100% increase in your compensation. From that high horse now here you are cause some teammate backstabbed you? From where you are, oci hasn’t changed. We are still “laying off” people. From your viewpoint, that “fact” hasn’t changed, has it? So yes I am laughing. You want constructive feedback? Don’t listen to morons. You heard we are a shit show, destined to die in six months. Microsoft people have been repeatedly telling this forecast for the past three years. But we are still here, investing billions. Trust your gut.
Okay practice, reach out to recruiter
Nothing to lose, there's a good chance they'll take you back. And also give you the same offer. Good luck!
thanks. I need these luck now :-)
Just call the HM and ask. If the HM does not have headcount anymore, ask them if they can refer you to another team. Chances are they still have headcount or will be glad to help you land on the right team. Otherwise, go on LinkedIn and look up the keywords “Director”, “oci”, “oracle”, narrow down by Seattle. Almost every single director will have the tag “I’m hiring!” next to their title. Reach out to them instead and when you are connected, let them know you already previously passed the interview loop. Since you already passed the loop, it’s easier for them to push your offer through.
Thank you very much!
