Waiting for a Joining Date: Is It Normal for Big Companies to Delay Details?

How much time does any company take to provide a joining date? I received an offer letter in August with a joining date mentioned, but I have not received any details about the joining yet. Whenever I inquire, I am informed that the joining will happen as scheduled, and I will receive my salary from the date mentioned in the offer letter. Is this information correct? This is one of the big companies.

Manisha, many big companies keep candidates on hold for a few months, but in your case, it's actually a very long period to wait. I suggest you start applying for new jobs, and if you get a good opportunity, join the company immediately and happily! Waiting or holding on is a waste of time! Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

Best regards

Can Microsoft Do Like This?

Because whenever I ask about joining, they say, "You will get a salary, don't worry," but there is no written confirmation.
