We use rejection emails, letting them know that our declining does not reflect on any merits to their case.

Yes, an email is usually fine for delivery. Be clear there will be no representation, let them know declining doesn’t reflect on the merits, advise of all potential statutes of limitations for all reasonably related claims, and advise that they should contact new counsel for more details and well before any possible filing deadlines. Sending the same via USPS letter with proof of delivery is also a good call if the client seems sketchy.

I have joined Sunlife yesterday. I was having offer from Capgemini as well but decided to join Sunlife.

I am settled in Bangalore and cannot relocate to Gurgaon. Sunlife HR provided me remote work option.

Now I am not sure that was fair decision for me or not.

CTC was almost same.

Need your comments.

Thank you!
