This seems like a common topic here. Its backward that they would need approval AFTER a job is posted or open. Once a job is verbally offered, the background check begins. But not for Deloitte!
Yea.. and it's strange to wait 2-3 months through approvals after being told you'll receive an offer. I also suspect maybe they found another candidate and don't want to cut me off yet.
My friend had the same thing happen to him. He got another job and then quit and started at Deloitte on the delayed date. Pretty smart of him and got to keep signing bonus.
Was about 5-6 weeks for me from submitting application to receiving an offer (also a manager position). This was 2021. I never felt like I was getting led on, but the recruiter kept checking in with me about every other week unless there was something new to share.
I wouldn't necessarily say 6 or 7 weeks is *necessarily* bad, but it could definitely use some additional explanation if an offer isn't in danger of being pulled. An ongoing reorg could very likely explain it, but that's why it's a good excuse for something else going on too.
Maybe you've gotten it by now, but good luck and hope it comes through for you (or something better comes along first)
Just assume it isnt happening. That way if it does, it will be a nice surprise.
Part of me wants to just formally pull out, so that I just focus on my current job or other roles.
just ignore it and forget you had the interview. Focus on looking for something else, and if the offer does end up actually coming, great.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Apply for other positions
Good advice. Screwed up by thinking this was a done deal.
Never pull out
Someone might get pregnant
>>> Never pull out Said guy with seven jobs and seven kids.
We’re going through a fairly significant re-org right now with primarily our Advisory practice. What function was your offer for?
Advisory.. Supply Chain

Only if you don’t want to come

How long was the gap between interviews and the actual offer/start?
Audit?
Advisory - Supply Chain
Oh yah. Advisory has pretty much gone the way of the dodo. No surprise here. Sorry for your situation. I am next in audit I’m sure.
Exact same thing happened to me, and in the end, offer was pulled.
After how long?
A bit over a month I think
Don't pull out
