Hi Guyz,
Any one from IBM ?
I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.
Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?
Guys need 10 likes to get started with, thanks a lot

Depends on who’s paying
Work context or hangout with friends?
I definitely don't like spending money on fancy meals and cocktails I don't really appreciate. I'll still go once in a while and have an appetizer or glass of wine. But I also like to suggest other outings, like sports games and that sort of thing.
I understand this! I'm not much of a drinker. Don't even like to socially, it gets awkward when everyone is drinking and tries to pressure me. I just politely decline and keep enjoying myself. As for dinner, I don't accept every invitation but I try to go out and socialize even if I just get an appetizer.
I felt like that for years, then decided to move to California. So many outdoor options here!
Are we talking outside of work? If so, I feel you on the drinking part. I never really acquired the taste for alcohol but that's what all my friends invite me to. I feel so bad when declining but I don't really have much of a choice. I only ever agree with brunch/dinner invitations which are rare to come by.
