Hello Infoscians/Ex-Infoscians!

I will be joining Infosys this Thursday as a 7+ YOE Tech Lead. I am an avid trekker and every year I go on a trek at least once which requires me to take a 5-7 working days off. Its actually my passion.

Is there any SOP for applying leaves at Infy?

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone !

I am trying to relocate in London, as a Legal Counsel in Privacy.

The opportunities there seems more interesting in terms of missions and financially. I had interviews for companies but one obstacle keeps coming up: I am not a qualified lawyer because is it not necessary to be one when you’re an in house in France.

I do have 2,5 years of experience as a Legal Counsel in Privacy and strong referrals.

Do you maybe have any tips to help me :) ?

Many thanks!

I had an in person interview on Friday morning and sent a thank you email eod Friday. Now I’m wishing I would have asked when to expect to hear back.

I felt very good about it but now each day that passes I feel less confident! Help!

I really want to work TAS FDD. I have 2 years of audit experience now and my cpa. I have one year of government and public sector and one year in commercial audit. As cheesy as this sounds that’s all I’ve wanted to do since discovering it a few months into my career in audit.
