I’m looking for honest opinions because I’m getting really confused/anxious about a job situation. [UK]/[US]
I interviewed for a UK-based tech role and everything seemed to go really well. The recruiter (US-based HR team) called me almost 2 weeks ago with a verbal offer, we discussed salary, agreed on a figure higher than the original advertised range, and they told me the team had really positive feedback. Since then though, I still haven’t received a formal contract. The recruiter has continued replying to emails and keeps saying things like: “the team remains very interested” “we’re working through final internal approvals” “I can’t issue the formal contract until approvals are complete” But timelines keep slipping: “tomorrow or Friday” then “early next week” now still waiting To make things worse, I noticed the job was reposted on LinkedIn a couple of days ago, even though they originally said they were hiring 2 people. I still haven’t been rejected, ghosted, or told the role is cancelled, but the whole thing is making me feel like the offer could disappear at any minute. Has anyone experienced something similar, especially with: UK jobs but US-based HR/recruiting teams long delays after verbal offers approval/sign-off delays reposted job ads during hiring Did your offer eventually come through or did it fall apart? Just trying to get realistic opinions because the uncertainty is exhausting
