So I am coming on here partly to vent and partly for advice
On Monday I received a verbal offer of employment via a recruiter. The plan was for a written offer to come through to me by email, so that I could go ahead and resign from my current job. The recruiter asked me to send them an update at the end of Tuesday, which I did - nothing had reached my inbox. So the recruiter nudged the hiring manager who replied to them saying my offer would be with me by Wednesday.
I wouldn't be here if I had received the offer and now I am beginning to wonder if I should prepare for the worst and just carry on job searching? I am in a fixed term contract doing a job I very much dislike and by contrast this new position is my dream job on paper.
An important note to add: the hiring manager moved to Dubai in recent months with their young family so I don't know if I am despairing prematurely given the situation there. AIBU?
