就像声明的那样。从顶级收到口头报价EB(NY/SF), and was due to receive the letter (the HR told me over the phone they will send it over in the next few days). Then no word from them, and the team-member who was running the process (the same person who called to congratulate me on the offer) calls me to say they will not be offering me the job.
I asked for reason, and they said its a competitive process, nothing to do with my candidacy (how does that reconcile with it being a "competitive process")?
Question: Instead of sulking here, curious to know if others have similar experiences: is it common for banks to reneg on their verbal promise or is it a symptom of a really slowing hiring market?

What!? Haven't heard of anything like this. I wonder if something came up that made them question the hire. Super odd and I would probably push for further feedback. BEst of luck

Exactly, nothing to lose with them and makes sure the rest of us know. If the street can share word on candidates reneging to revoke offers then we can share word when they reneg.
To make it clear, i'm at a competitive bank and have good/relevant experience on my resume. The person told me that my interviews went really well, they were all very impressed and would be making an offer, and put me in touch with HR to iron out the details, etc. I don't know what could have happened, but it is sort of unusual for sure.
I don't know if I can push for any further feedback beyond what I already have- it sounds to me like they wanted to hire me, but maybe ran into HR who doesn't want to increase the headcount (but then why interview?). Anyways, just wanted to flag this to the community here, because if anything, this shows the importance of signing on the dotted line. Luckily I'm still at a good place, but I must admit, the process was a real distraction for 2-3 weeks.
The person did say "let's keep in touch, you are still in our list if things change/you are on top of the list". I truly didn't know what to say...all seemed a little bizarre

当然，低租金移动。您是否从口头上获得了特定的数字等？无论如何，我确定这是市场条件的功能，也许是IBis panicking about headcount at some banks. It seems like some banks may have overhired after over firing during beginning of Covid and just don't want to add new bodies. Would expect tougher hiring environment as deal activity normalizes.
The only thing that was left to discuss really were relocation expenses, and guarantee around full bonus at end of year (verbal or otherwise as is standard for lateral moves). None of these are exceptional things to negotiate. Still surprised- seemed somewhat amateur-ish but was even more surprised that this is from a top firm.
It could be someone fked up and verbally offered you when they meant to reject or sth.
Besides that, it's a very unusual situation, especially coming from anEB.
Not common whatsoever and super shitty move on the firm's part. Likely that their hiring needs or budget changed in the midst of the depressed earnings banks are seeing right now. Sorry that happened - just press forward with new processes, nothing you can do to reconcile the situation. Good reaffirmation that no offer is final until its written and signed.
完全同意，感谢您的有用建议。我完全专注于自己，并且还有其他选择。对他们来说是没有意义的。
If anything, the process speaks a lot about how disjointed their culture and internal communications have been, following a recent flurry of departures both at mid and senior levels. Most of the people I spoke to were all recent hires - some of them having worked less than 6 monthsthere. Not a going look for sure.
name and shame

Expose them
Some banks have put a hiring freeze. That may be the case for you.
它可能是。如果他们更清楚招聘冻结，那将有所帮助。
For those asking me to name and shame, I really don't know if that's a good idea. Unless there are others that have experienced something similar and are willing to share their stories privately on DM, and then maybe its worth making a call on whether its a systemic problem with this team that warrants being disclosed. Otherwise, I don't see the point of doxing anyone.
One problem is that their team has turned over - many senior bankers have left the firm, the staffer and pretty much everyone from VP and above is new - joined within last 12 months. They do sound like they probably have little idea about what they are doing from a recruiting perspective vs HR maybe trying to rein them in . If anything, this is a reflection on how shoddy their culture has become due to turnovers/overwork.
From what I have seen from the inner works of recruiting, it may be that HR wanted a diversity candidate, and while your team pushed for you, they had to pull the offer.

Didn't happen
Not to highjack the thread but the same thing happened to be just todayfrom aBB. Absolutely gutted.
Sorry to hear. Happy to talk through DMs if you need alistening ear.
I recently connected with someone who interviewed me where my verbal offer was pulled. They mentioned that they are worried about over-hiring and markets slowing down, and got clamped down by HR, particularly on the part where I asked to be guaranteed a top bucket (since I'm top bucket at my current competitive firm here). They recommended I definitely should try to recruit here in Jan, when the bonuses get paid out, as more people are likely to leave again, and that I had really positive interview reviews with the team rating me pretty highly. The reality is, according to them, theirEBis still understaffed at junior levels, even though they might have over hired at mid/senior levels. So they recommended to just wait it out for a few months.
If it helps, you should try to reach out to someone you connected well with at您的目标BB看看他们是否可以就实际发生的事情给您非正式的反馈 - 如果它的市场相关，那么您更有可能等待一年结束时，奖金被偿还/人离开/对市场条件的确定性更高，让他们回到桌子上。但这取决于您是否仍然想在那里。
