Offer breakup received but not the offer letter officially!
Hi all, last week Friday I got the offer breakup from Qualcomm but since I okayed it immediately I haven't heard back from them with official offer letter. I am holding another lower package offer from TE Connectivity who wants me to join by another 2 weeks... But are calling me everyday to check the status of my early release. Qualcomm is okay if I join by Sept mid. So what should I do? Please guide.
