They sent an email on Christmas Eve (my final interview was the Friday before) with the following (not the complete text, just the pertinent portion):
I wanted to give you a quick update as we head into the holidays/end of the year. We’ve been really impressed with your technical expertise and the way you connected with our team. It’s clear that you’d be a fit for both our culture and the work we’re doing at company_name.
That said, we’re in the final stages of fine-tuning some updates to our compensation plan across the org and we want to make sure that any offer we extend aligns with these changes. We should have a clearer picture of this around mid-January.
I know this might not align to your current expectations, but I’d love to stay in touch over the next couple of weeks to keep the conversation going. With that being said, if you’re in discussions with other companies or have offers you’re considering, please feel free to share your timeline with us. We want to be respectful of your process and ensure we’re aligned.
Obviously you don’t have a job until you’ve started; so I’ll keep going interviewing, and respond to their emails in kind. I’m just curious because I’ve never had a 2.5-3-week delay on final interview to offer conversations. Then again, Christmas/NY holidays are a weird time to hire in general.
How would you guys read into this: Delay tactic? Soft rejection? Or something genuine?
