Is it normal for company's to not give a written offer on the spot even if they like you and give you a verbal offer?
The discussion was about money, they asked my expectation, I told them higher than the current and based on the interview. They quoted X, I said its low, I was expecting around X+50, they said no, we can at most do X+20.
But what the HR told me: Trust me we will put you in a position where you will get to learn, if you go out in the market, you may get X + 100 but you won't get our tag, and the benefits on working at a startup.
But considering they have got some grants and all, current employee strength is 100x to my current one, infrastructure is top notch. Only the commute increases and two Saturday's are working.
@enderland what matters to me the most is work, I am at a stage where I want to learn. But due to some bad leadership at my current place I wished to leave it. At the new place they called for a PHP position but was very interested in my python knowledge. But its uncertain if they will give me work in python :|

@user1502 I would consider it extremely unusual for the offer to be given on the spot. It is usually sent a few days after the interview process is done. The paperwork doesn't take zero time. However, if the interview has taken place over multiple days, it is possible that the paperwork was already set in motion as you advanced through the rounds, and it was ready by the end of it.

@StanShunpike We get a lot of more touchy subjects that's for sure! Being a mod here is pretty great though, because unlike most other sites Workplace has a lot of real, difficult situations that people can get help/guidance/answers to
OP seems to be referring to this:investopedia.com/terms/a/annualize.asp. OP submitted notice on Aug 8, hence resignation date is Sep 8. However, attrition rate of more than 4% (per month?! Whoa!) is "not allowed". Hence OP's resignation date is pushed to Oct 8. OP wants to know if Sep 8 or Oct 8, will be the date considered for annualization. This is what I could get, still very unclear and likely also off-topic. — Masked Man yesterday
