It means they were on the fence about putting you through but thought you needed more practice. They saw potential so said to try again. If they don’t see hope then they don’t suggest to you to try again.

Next cycle is likely jan/feb depending where you live.

Practice, be mindful of the feedback they should have given (if not, ask for it), and good luck next time.

Thank you so much!!

If this is for campus hiring, it likely means they want to see what the next app drop deadline results in. For campus hiring, they allow candidates to submit applications at a few points from July to September or October and they’re saying they thought you were really strong, but need to confirm the next app drop doesn’t drop way stronger candidates.

Thank you!!

That means you got rejected

What did your recruiter say? Dont they call and provide a feedback?

Hi Fishes,

I have 6 YOE in. Net+Angular and got an offer from Legato Health Technologies with 20 LPA Fixed, i joined Infor just 11 months ago with 12LPA Fixed and i will get the hike in August. If i resign now i will not get hike and i am a critical resource in the project, i guess Infor might try to retain me by matching offer. What should i do? Should i resign ASAP and not negotiate with Infor . I have all these doubts because Infor is a product based company.

Hi guys,

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.
