Based on when organizations hire more - Is now a better time to apply for roles in industry or Jan in the new year? Thinking generally as well as with this years context in mind

I think consensus is Jan / Feb are among the best times to apply and get hired. Everyone’s back from the holiday and new budgets are in effect. By contrast Nov / Dec are among the worst. Hard to move the process forward with so many OOOs and holidays.

This is all within the context of a weaker hiring environment overall.

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.

Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?
