Seen it for Chinese, Spanish - I once volunteered for Hindi for a Punjabi grand ma in a wheel chair. My Punjabi goes to the extent of yo yo honey Singh so not much.

Got Punjabi grand ma sorted, got a brusque “thanks”, almost a grunt from the immigration Dude. But the “jeeta rah puttar” with misty eyes from grand ma made my day!!!

Thanks A1. My mom is coming and she speaks only Hindi

Make sure she requests a wheel chair. That gets her by immigration pretty quickly.

And a lot of the time the wheel chair person Speaks hindi

Thanks A2. Yes I have requested for wheelchair all the way.

Hi fishes. I am a fresher. Need to understand one thing. How does the buy out of notice period work? If an employee has a 90 day np but company decides to shave it to 60. So he will recieve salary for 60days and for the next 30 he won't recieve any salary . Is that correct? Or will the person not receive salary for the 30 days and will also have to pay a salary worth for 30 days.

10-12 days back I had an interview with UBS. I have not received any feedback yet. In UBS portal application is shown as interviews in progress.

Interviewed with an Indian guy from FAANG and I felt like the interview was more like an integration instead of interview; The interviewer never smiled (not even the beginning) throughout the interview and keeps probing my "technical skills" even though I am interviewing for Program Manager position. For many times I wanted to end the interview but out of curtesy I stayed. Does anyone else here have similar experience with Indian interviewer?
