Guys did anyone attend an interview with Comcast recently. All the negotiations are over and they are yet to release an offer even after 3 weeks. Saying that some finance clearance from the US has to come. But saying they will offer for sure and it will take 1 more week. Now I am waiting for almost 4 weeks for an offer.
