A recruiter messaged me to ask for my availability for a quick chat. They gave me the company's name, but no title or details. Why would they do this? I don't want to waste my time on something I'm not even qualified for.

Possibly multiple positions available. May want to gather what you are interested in or need to see what fits

You can ask for more details before agreeing to the chat.

It can be difficult to figure out recruiters, but in this case I suppose they're just taking the temperature. And they may not be willing to say too much until they know someone is a serious candidate, or, at the very least, interested. Sometimes recruiters are overly cagey, but there can be legitimate reasons for discretion.

Personally, I’d go straight to the company website and see when open positions are currently listed. Worth further conversation if you are interested.

Hi everyone! I’m a young professional right out of college getting into investing and personal finance management. Trying to better understand and educate myself on personal finance and investment strategies. Can someone recommend some recourses (books, podcasts, experts to follow, etc.) where it’s clearly explained for beginners? Trying to make sense of 401Ks, Roth IRAs, emergency funds etc.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

How long from submitting applications are candidates hearing back from firms in this market?
