I’m in the final stages of the interview process and awaiting HC approval. If HC approves, how long would the offer be valid for?
Are you going to need to find a team first?
Not always, if a packet is strong enough it can go to HC before team match. Weak or borderline packet must need team match to improve chances of passing HC though.
Before an offer I mean.
Well the "final stages"would be team match AFTER the HC approval unless you already did that. I think they give you a while to match with a team though
You guys are forgetting that at least half of hires are direct and don't have a team match phase.
I haven’t been team matched but the hiring manager is the one who referred me for the job (no, we don’t know each other, met at a conference). So I’m guessing I’ll work with him unless he doesn’t have a req and then I’ll go in the pool.
If you go in the pool you have a while.
And what if it is with the hiring manager and I cannot join for 3-4 months?
Job ladder?
Does it matter?
Yes
