At EY, this situation happens due to 3 scenarios: bad advocating partner, average rating, and you are too passive. I know someone who had to move to another office since the partner in the old office wasn't supportive but the partner in the new office was, I know someone who got a pushback due to being a mediocre, and I know someone who didn't make a move. As long as you have proven yourself and the firm sees you as an asset, the firm will try its best to support you. This is based on my experience

Thanks for letting us know. Will strike them off my list.

OP, you’re wrong

Policy is:
1. Need to be a senior associate
2. Atleast 1 year with the firm
3. Need to be in good standing

I started my process in my 2nd year of h1

But what if someone’s h1b was running out they’d need to start

You are spreading rumors to scare off people. PwC immigrant specifically said they would start 3 years before your h1b extension expires. Why would they start at year 5 ? you can’t even finish perm in 1 year, they will have to pay more to do more h1b extension and things will be more complicated. Maybe your friends don’t speak up enough

like

Is that a new rule? I thought they would start the process once you are at senior associate level, at least one year in the firm and in good “standings”.

To everyone saying PwC starts as soon as someone gets promoted to a Senior, that has not been my experience. I asked HR and they said you need to (1) be a Senior and (2) be on your second leg of your 6-year H1b period. My friend is on her 5th year of H1b and they just started hers.

I am just sharing this to caution everyone else.

To add on, it definitely helps to have the support of your RL, connectivity partner and market team leader. Going directly to HR wouldn’t be the best way to do this

Tech companies generally start the process right after you join

Speaking from personal experience, OP’s statements are false and there is no such rule.

If you are saying this based on some specific cases and not an actual update in policy, then this looks like fear mongering to me. I can see that some people might have experienced this but it seems the policy is different.

Hi all,
I had my technical round scheduled with Capgemini last week. This week I cleared the L1 interview round and HR discussion. Before releasing the offer letter they asked me to submit my documents and sent a link to appear for an AMCAT exam (English grammer and email writting) as part of hiring process . My question is based on AMCAT score is there a possibility that Capgemini would revoke my offer ? Is it an elimination round as they mentioned this a part of Capgemini hiring process?

Hello sharks,

Recently attended the TCS interview for the role of cloud architect and it went well.

HR asked me to upload all the documents and verified.
Then HR called me to discuss the salary and told me that she will inform the management.

Almost 3 working days after the call, haven't received any updates! Tried to call HR but not picking up the call. I assume it's because of these continuous holidays.

Is this usual!

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
