Funny story.
After interview recruiter told me "I have some information I'd love to share with you" and "we received great feedback", only for her to tell me I didn't get the job on a call at 7 PM.

Why bring my hopes up? 🥴

Something probably happened between you receiving that msg and your call.

Don’t blame yourself for this - it sounds like the outcome had nothing to do with your capabilities and more about what ever the company is dealing with at the moment.

I am under qualified for a job that I KNOW I can do. They’ve asked for a certain number of years of experience and I don’t have it. However, I do have some experience in the exact requirements for the role. What can I do to position myself to get an interview from my resume alone? Should I add a cover letter? What should I include? I have 2-3 YOE, but they’re asking for 5.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.
