Do MBB firms consider academic scores even during lateral hiring? I am from target schools but did not make the shortlist on campus placements due to low cgpa. Can I apply laterally now?

Don’t you have your friends from the target school to help you out on this!?

I do! Thought they can help refer my CV but if the recruitment committee considers acads I can expect it to not materialise. Just wanted to know if I should consider moving as a possibility even with suboptimal grades

If you mean backend offices/Capability Networks you don't need extraordinary grades.

Thanks. Was aiming for front end roles

What was your cgpa? I think undergrad cgpa shouldn't matter much a couple of years out of b-school.

I'm 3.02/4 in Bschool :( passed out in 2020 so fairly recent. Hope the referral and my total 5 years of rich workex helps

Depends on how much work experience and spikes in the CV you have.
Academics is a criteria but not the ONLY criteria. Accenture IB are usually preferred from what I’ve seen

ATB!

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car.

Hi All an off-topic query.

I recently moved to JioFiber and took postpaid plan and paid for 3 months advance.

Now I saw the bill was generated after 2 months of usage. When enquired the customer care said since it's a postpaid plan and company keeps 1 month as security so you have to pay from 3rd month?

Is it right? Since there is no mention of that?

Anyone please advice. Customer care and Twitter not very helpful.

For all the current job seekers having an offer or multiple offers 👍🏻
