Some do. Some don’t and expect you to manage your recommendations (I.e., check in with them every so often, keep tabs on progress, ensure deadlines are met). I wouldn’t risk it. Check in with your recommenders today and stress the importance

While giving the tech interview as well as while having the HR discussion, I mentioned my expected CTC as 9-10 LPA(CTC). I cleared the interview and uploaded all the documents in the portal yesterday. Today mrng all the document verification was completed. But when I got the call for offer discussion, she asked what u expect. I said 9-10 LPA. She questioned me that on what basis I am asking for this much hike. She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..
