Some level of nerves is fine OP. It tells the interviewer that you genuinely care about the opportunity. A well worded thank you message with excerpts from the interview will definitely help.

Deep breathes. 4 seconds inhaling, 4 seconds exhaling.

Sorry I misunderstood! Thought this was pre-interview. Definitely send a thank you note. And don’t worry about the nerves.

During my final interview, an in person with the MD at Accenture, he point blank said “you seem really nervous.” Still got the job 🤗.

Hi Sharks, I had an interview with Tata Consultancy today and cleared the TAG round by answering all their questions. So here my query is, based on my performance will they offer me a hike of 100% or more from my CCTC, because this role is too relevant to my domain and technical knowledge so that I don't wanna miss out on this.

CCTC - 6LPA
YOE - 5

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team. So billable work is never constant. I feel like this has impacted my interest and stagnated my growth. I am thinking of moving into a different area of practice that I’m interested in. Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
