1] Put together a spreadsheet ofevery person you know (LinkedIn, text, email, whatever) who does what you want to do. 2] Reach out to them and ask them to do this :: each time a headhunter/hiring manager approaches them.with a job opportunity they're not interested in pursuing, ask your contact to introduce you to that person. Why? Because the question the headhunter/manager always asks is - "Do you know anybody good who might fit well in this position?" You want to be that person.

Hello Folks, I have completed my Technical and Managerial rounds last week and got the confirmation from consultancy that I have cleared the interviews and will schedule a call with HR as per availability.
My question is usually how long does Nagarro HR takes to release the offer ?

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
