Yep! I thought I blew an interview once, and turns out they were just being extra hard on me to test me. I left feeling deflated and got an offer a few hours later!

Congrats on the new gig!

The worst is when you think it’s gone well, but then you don’t get it. Gotta that has happened a few times. Is it me? Lol

Yep same thing GD1 said. I have a very bubbly personality and it just so happened this CD I interviewed had the complete opposite personality. I thought due to the vibes it wouldn’t happen but alas I got the job so you never know!!

For sure, I thought I blew it because the interviewer cut the interview short. Turned out that I had nailed it and they didn’t need to use the allocated time, but knew immediately that they wanted to hire me.

Yes. Turns out they were just a low-energy person that was playing their cards close to their chest. Try not to think too much about it right now!

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
