Not ditching. Have to show up. But trying to escape the project.

@A1, literally the only worse question someone could have asked is if they could delay their pregnancy birth. That's ridiculous.

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.
