Anyone aware of TCS hiring process? How many days normally they take for the process. I had an interview yesterday both technical and Managerial. After that HR confirmed me over mail that I have cleared the interview rounds and asked to fill all the details on their portal. However, I haven't got any update today so I am just curious how many days they normally take to verify docs and proceed to HR discussion?Tata Consultancy Wipro Infosys IBM Accenture
Any Sony Corporation, Epic Games, or Rockstar Games Producers here? I wanted to know a bit more about the development workflows and different teams involved in delivering features for live service games. I’m interviewing with a team working on a live service game platform and I’d like to understand the complexity and breadth of the work their live service teams do (Account creation/mgmt, UI/UX, Security, Content Mgmt, Social, Community, Art, Databases, Front-end dev, networking, etc.).

A referral will help your chances significantly. Use your network or even find alumni at the company you’re applying to on LinkedIn (doesn’t have to be legal), grab a virtual coffee, and ask whether they’d be willing to refer you. If they say no, it’s a little awkward at worst. We get hundreds of applications per role and a referral gets you in front of a human.

You may need to rework your resume to standout. Do you have any friends or people in your network who are in-house and could review it for you? Do you have a specialty/niche? Have you tried the open to jobs feature on LinkedIn so recruiters can reach out?
Make yourself stand out. I got my in house role at a SaaS company because I was a software engineer before law school. Find something that makes you different from other applicants and go with it. Also network like crazy, always helps to know someone.
Apply cold but make sure to tweak your resume based on each job posting. To the extent you can match words to get through an algo the better (obviously don’t lie or mislead on your experience).
Go to the company’s page on LinkedIn and look up the counsel who work at the company (should be able to search all employees who work for the company on the Company’s LinkedIn page). See how they describe their jobs and their path. Should also give you an idea of things.
I’m currently searching and I’ve decided I wanna be in my city for a while longer so I’m prioritizing all jobs in my city in my speciality, even if a bit more junior than I would take. If the job meets my requirements, it’s auto-apply! Can decide if I ultimately want it if I get an offer. That’s how I’ve been thinking about it at least
What’s your background? Litigation/transactional/regulatory? What industry? Any particular niche? Not all types of law and industries have the same marketability in terms of going in house so that could be a threshold issue to try to figure out.
OP- I found an in-house gig with finance background very recently. I tried through recruiters but ended up getting an offer through my own professional acquaintances. What year are you and what kind of positions are you looking at? Happy to give more insight into what I went through.
