HCL really messed up their walk-in drive yesterday, making 600–700 of us stand outside in the boiling heat for three hours just to turn us away without even looking at our resumes. They blindly blasted email invites to everyone for the React and Gen AI role, and then security just told the massive crowd outside to go home because the building was already full. I only came from Sector 62, but so many people traveled from far away, spending their own money just to be treated like an afterthoughts.

Something similar happened with me in Infosys many years back under Sikka.

I was called for a scheduled walk in by phone call, I travelled 600+ kms don't remember by train or road absolutely forgot and waited whole day for a short 10-15 mins interview and was rejected. Don't remember if I ate also or not? Can't recall the details.

Such is Life!!!!!! Happens buddy. Move on. We can't do much. IBM in Blore also did something similar with me maybe 2 decades back, extremely less memory on it now.

No more walkins for me. 😁

I’m 37 and I didn’t get nominated for PCEC (mckinsey partner election). Should I give it another year knowing that it generally takes 2 election cycles and I won’t be a partner until I’m 39? Do I explore exits in a recessionary economy? Or praise Christ, go to church more, and suck up my ego because I still have a shot and haven’t been CTLd? How much worse are my exit ops as an AP and how would that look with 2 years later?
