Got rejected at BCG final round a few months ago. Planning to try again at year end after the cooling period. I applied through referral the first time. Is referral necessary again this time? My background: top 30 non target undergrad, 2.5 yoe in Corp internal consulting, applying for Associate level (entry). Just don't want to get dinged in resume screening...

Were you encouraged to apply again later in the rejection? If not, referral would help

Hello my current CTC is 4.5lpa as a python developer with 2 years of experience.
I have cleared the technical interview of TCS and received an email for the HR round. How much should I enter my expected CTC?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
