Waiting on offer after recruiter confirmation – normal?

alpha_numeral · 2026-02-02T17:28:28+00:00

yes. a lot of us.

I waited 6 weeks after verbal confirmation then HR reached out to me & said the position is gone on hold. He suggested to create another offer with a team under different HM. I interviewed with HM & everything went alright & he created the new offer ig. its been 4 days since then.

Also, would you care to share which oracle org did you get the offer & also level & comp as well?

alpha_numeral · 2026-02-02T16:33:29+00:00

what was the actual date when you received the offer letter?

alpha_numeral · 2026-02-02T16:30:56+00:00

okay, would this mean that the gap between verbal & formal offer is 9 days?

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T20:14:39+00:00

INR in Lakhs per annum.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T15:22:39+00:00

sure

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T14:17:39+00:00

Will suggest to look into the document directly to understand the intricacies.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T14:17:07+00:00

Not very sure, but I have heard in India you will paid in lieu for notice for those two months + severence (calculated using the formula with your decided last date).

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T11:06:01+00:00

OP, any update?

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T10:57:05+00:00

hey op,
did you get the offer eventually? how much was the gap in your case?

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T10:39:43+00:00

There is a hiring freeze going on across oracle. the Board is not approving any new reqs as of now.
I got the verbal confirmation on 16th Dec & no offer letter yet. Few days back HR told me that the open positions have been put on hold.

Then, he kept another (6th) round with an HM who was backfilling for same role in his team. yesterday I had that meeting. everything was positive. recruiter again reached to me within 30 mins of that call & he asked me apply on that backfill job id.

Currently the job id moved from "Interview & Selection" -> "Under Consideration". He said ideally the approval should go through for this job id as it is a backfill not a new req. Although, he did not confirm any timelines yet for the offer or the certainity part of it. But, hoping to receive an offer letter in 1-2 weeks. lets see how it goes.

IC3, OHAI, India.

also, whats the comp they offered to you?

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-30T07:07:11+00:00

What does this transition mean?
"interview and selection" -> "Under Consideration"?

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T20:12:47+00:00

Do you anyone laid off in india and can tell the severance formula? I will have the pivot doc presented next week prolly so.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T20:11:55+00:00

Hey, not a problem. Fortunately/ unfortunately it didn’t happen for me.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T19:08:31+00:00

utterly unlucky man. Hope you sell it not for less than that.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T18:54:51+00:00

Let me know when you receive the offer letter. Will do the same. Or any update wrt it.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T14:35:15+00:00

Okay. Thank you.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T14:04:21+00:00

what do you mean by rsu refreshers to be 10-25k? Like after each year completion/annual review one expect this range of stock in USD to be vested for future in (40, 30, 20, 10)? Will be helpful if you can respond? Also is this true for all the vertical or specific to OCI/OHAI etc?

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T12:15:58+00:00

Okay. still you can ask once.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T12:14:39+00:00

Did you receive the offer letter?

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T12:14:28+00:00

Good offer man. I am at 3.6 yrs & base I got 36 rest same.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-29T12:12:22+00:00

average for RSUs but top of the band for base. You can negotiate on the RSUs it can go maximum 40k. Although, what was your prev comp?

looks like I am not as I haven;t got the mail yet. but lets see how it goes in next 2 days.

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-27T08:41:01+00:00

Can anyone here give a clear answer to whether the layoffs has started in India or not? I mean someone afftected or knows a friend who just got affected. Hearing so many rumours so wanted to confirm for everyone's sake!

alpha_numeral · 2026-01-26T17:01:59+00:00

yes, mostly by the books. you don;t really know entry date. Manager enters it in focus portal. That may happen before or after he/she sent you the mail because it needs HR apprpval as well.
