Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

Presentation after learning is more important in an interview.
Everyone wants someone experienced in so and so technology.
Spring boot based portfolio projects and sharing these links on gitlab through a personal repo might help and sharing all these online like LinkedIn. These are things to create your own influence and change by being honest that you never got chance but are interested in this tech so put in extra effort to learn it.
Why not change the game and think long term. By enhancing through a certificate course or an executive program in interested tech like data analytics, mba , or maybe product management or specialised courses CTO might be more fruitful.
There are many things you can do buddy.
I too am from a similar background. But now after gaining team experience and managing team has its own challenges.
So it's upto you what you like. Some like individual contributor roles but bear in mind that expectation will increase.
And you should keep 40 years as age as a deadline to consider saturation on some part.
So try other paths as well if you can.
Scala , python all no one might give you chance as individual contributor in India now due to competition from junior members. :)
Maybe also consider solution architect or architect position and expand your skills.
Get mad and set target. Slap yourself and wake up because nobody else is going to come and generate money for your family.
