thanksI passed several round of phone interviews, onsite interviews and got the job, it took me about two months, besides the company is a large, public, fortune 500 one, I really want it, I wonder if the company is lying, because last month there is no bugdet problem, it changes too fast.

it's normal for current market! you still have chance but do not rely on that. for new hiring, they normally need headcount approval. good luck!

如果着急工作的话,不要等了,赶紧找别的吧。不着急的话,就多和对方联系,也不是完全没有希望。headcount就是人头嘛,经济不景气紧缩开支,就不增加人头数,也就是不招新人了。很多公司都如此。有的情况是有headcount,比如原来这个职位的人走了,职位空出来,但公司想减人减开支,就把这个职位hold住了。这样的情况会希望大一些。完全是新增加的,则有可能因为公司freeze headcount,一下子拖个没头了。
