Maybe the interview buddy gave poor feedback (which they shouldn’t be doing ideally), leading to change in firm’s perception of candidate.

Did you recruit in the Fall cycle? I got a buddy for fall recruiting.

Same thing happened to me in undergrad, got an interview buddy in the summer, did all the campus events in the fall, then not even a first round interview.

Yeah if you’re given an interview you’re supposed to be given a buddy. Pretty standard. But if you’re part of a large pool stuff could slip through the cracks. For example you’re the 4th person a consultant is supposed to case with and they get busy and forget / don’t reach out or something. Not excusing it by any means, just saying that things do happen and it’s not how things are supposed to be

Is this a buddy assigned to you before actual apps are due? For undergrad at least, we assign “high potential” candidates summer buddies who are supposed to encourage them to apply in the fall and help with some initial prep. While theoretically most people who have summer buddies will get an interview, it’s not a guarantee.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
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?

Hello fam! Hope you’ll are enjoying your Sunday!

I faked my resume I mean my contracting firm did and I didn’t have choice and I got the job. Now my client wants to offer me a full time position. I kind of feel like they trust me with the work I’m doing and also considering my past experiences to offer me a full time and moreover it’s only been 3 months.

I know it’s a little unusual but what do you guys think/suggest me to do in this situation?!
